Distributed Solar Market Summary

The global distributed solar market size was estimated at approximately USD 121.80 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 193.83 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.21% from 2025 to 2033. Market expansion is supported by rising electricity costs, growing consumer demand for decentralized clean power, and favorable policy frameworks across major economies.

Adoption is accelerating as commercial, industrial, and residential users increasingly deploy rooftop and onsite solar systems, benefiting from improvements in module efficiency, smart inverters, and the integration of energy storage. Government incentives, net-metering programs, and declining installation costs continue to improve the economic viability of distributed solar solutions. These developments, combined with advancements in digital energy management and grid-interactive technologies, are positioning distributed solar as a key enabler of long-term grid resilience and global renewable energy transition goals.

In North America, the distributed solar market is expanding steadily, supported by strong federal and state-level clean energy policies, declining solar installation costs, and rising demand for resilient, decentralized power systems. The U.S. continues to lead regional adoption through Department of Energy (DOE) initiatives, net metering programs, investment tax credits (ITC), and utility-backed distributed generation strategies aimed at enhancing grid reliability. Growing participation from commercial and industrial users, along with corporate renewable procurement commitments and virtual power plant (VPP) programs, is further accelerating deployment.

The Asia Pacific region dominates the global distributed solar market, propelled by rapid urbanization, robust government targets for renewable energy expansion, and strong investment in decentralized power infrastructure. Countries such as China, India, Japan, and Australia are leading large-scale deployment through favorable rooftop solar policies, capital subsidies, time-of-day tariffs, and supportive net-metering regulations. China continues to set the pace with its extensive residential PV rollout, distributed energy trading pilots, and integration of distributed solar into smart grid modernization efforts. India is accelerating growth through rooftop solar schemes, corporate renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs), and large-scale solarization of commercial and industrial facilities. Japan and Australia are advancing the adoption of solar energy through high electricity prices, feed-in premium programs, and strong consumer demand for home solar-plus-storage systems.
