Global DG Rooftop Solar PV Market Overview

Growing pollution due to fossil fuels, increasing import dept burden, and power outages due to weather conditions are the factor supplying momentum to the market growth. The DG solar PV is growing at an impressive rate supported by policies and regulations. There are a wide variety of policies at the federal, local, and states level that impacts the market and its demand. Commercial and industrial systems will remain the largest growth segment owing to their low cost and relatively stable load profile, enabling larger savings on electricity bills, depending on the policy scheme in place.

Strengthening policy and regulatory support is encouraging the deployment of DG PV systems for resiliency and public access to power during emergencies. Players within the market are adopting merger and acquisition strategies and planning and proposing projects on a national and state basis to install the grid. The project aims to drive down power costs and allow the customer to save the system. Besides, it will also help in sustainably reducing the carbon footprint.

These factors are anticipated to proliferate the market. However, high initial cost and policy constrain in some region is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market. The initial investment required to set up equipment is too high. Moreover, the policies of different governments and administrations also hamper growth. In addition, land-use constraints are anticipated to act as another restraint. These factors are anticipated to act as growth deterrents.
