This growth is being fueled by declining installation costs, supportive government policies, and increasing consumer awareness of clean energy benefits. Rooftop solar systems are now seen as a practical solution for households, businesses, and industries seeking energy independence and reduced electricity bills. With residential adoption surging in countries such as the United States and India, and strong policy backing in Europe, rooftop solar is becoming a mainstream energy option worldwide.

Upcoming Trends in Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Installation Industry

Declining Installation Costs

One of the most important drivers of the rooftop solar market is the sharp reduction in installation costs. For example, Vietnam recorded a 58% drop in installation costs between 2016 and 2020, reaching USD 949/kW. In the United States, residential solar system costs fell to USD 3.21 per watt in 2022, less than half of the 2010 average. These reductions have made rooftop solar competitive with grid electricity in many regions.

Supportive Government Policies

Government incentives and mandates are playing a crucial role. The European Union has set ambitious targets, aiming for 632 GW of rooftop solar capacity by 2030, with requirements for solar rooftops on commercial buildings starting in 2027. India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has launched Phase II of its rooftop solar program, while Australia has committed millions of dollars to reform its Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme.

Rising Residential Demand

Residential installations are emerging as a major growth driver. In the United States, residential solar grew 30% year-over-year in 2021, while India surpassed 50,000 rooftop installations nationwide. Homeowners are increasingly motivated by rising electricity tariffs, environmental concerns, and the appeal of energy independence.
