Solar Energy Systems Market – Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The Solar Energy Systems market size was estimated at USD 215.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 605.84 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 15.92% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Solar Energy Systems are designed to capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity or heat. There are two main types of solar energy systems – Photovoltaic (PV) systems and Solar thermal systems. Photovoltaic systems use solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity. PV systems can be used to power homes, businesses, and other buildings, or they can be used to generate electricity for the grid. On the other hand, solar thermal systems use the sun’s heat to heat water or air. Solar thermal systems can be used for domestic hot water, space heating, or industrial applications. Solar energy systems can be used to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and are cost effective. They are also a clean and renewable source of energy, which helps protect the environment. The cost of solar energy systems has observed a decline in the recent years.

The solar energy systems market can be segmented based on product into solar panels, batteries and inverters. Based on technology, the market can be segmented into photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar thermal systems. Based on source, the market can be segmented into new installation and MRO. Based on the end use, the market is bifurcated into residential, commercial and industrial. Lastly, based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa and South America. The growth of the market is driven by the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, government incentives, and declining costs of solar panels.

The solar energy systems market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years driven by a number for factors such as growing environmental concerns, government incentives, declining cost of solar energy systems, and improved solar technology. However, there are also some challenges that could hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. Solar energy is not always available, as it depends on the sun shining. Moreover, solar farms require a significant amount of land, which can be a challenge in some areas.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the solar energy systems market. The pandemic led to supply chain disruptions and decreased demand as businesses and industries were shut down. However, the continued decline in the cost of solar energy systems, increasing demand for clean energy and supporting policies for solar energy all led to the gradual recovery of the solar energy systems market.
