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).
Rooftop solar energy systems produce power locally, keeping power production and the economic opportunities that solar energy generates within the community. SETO funds research that helps maximize the value of rooftop solar systems for their owners.
In a grid connected rooftop photovoltaic power station, the generated electricity can sometimes be sold to the servicing electric utility for use elsewhere in the grid. This arrangement provides payback for the investment of the installer. Many consumers from across the world are switching to this mechanism owing to the revenue yielded.
As of May 2017, installation of a rooftop solar system costs an average of $20,000. In the past, it had been more expensive. Utility Dive wrote, "For most people, adding a solar system on top of other bills and priorities is a luxury" and "rooftop solar companies by and large cater to the wealthier portions of the American population."
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.
Installing rooftop solar PV and offsetting grid demand is one of the most cost-efficient ways to generate local electricity, decarbonise buildings, and tackle operational emissions.
Benefits of Rooftop Solar Energy
Rooftop solar energy systems keep power production and related economic opportunities close to home, enabling greater consumer choice in electricity supply. When solar systems are paired with larger battery systems, households and businesses can increase their energy resilience.
