Rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) occupy a special place in the clean energy transition. Rooftop PV is special among small, “distributed” clean energy generators in terms of deployed scale.
But there remains a substantial amount of work to be done to accelerate the deployment of rooftop solar PV to reach the current National target of 3 GW to 5 GW per year of new capacity set by the 10-year Energy Programme Decree (PPE).
The Rooftop Solar PV Comparison Update produced by CAN Europe and eco-union, with contributions from our members, is an updated version of the Rooftop Solar PV Comparison Report published by CAN Europe in May 2022.
Three trends shaping the future of rooftop PV are an evolving policy and regulatory context, the market’s reaction to that evolving context, and the market’s transition from early adoption to mass diffusion.
First, rooftop PV is losing special policy and regulatory treatment and faces increasingly difficult policy contexts moving forward. Second, the rooftop PV market is adapting to the changing context by integrating with other clean energy resources and diversifying its value proposition.
