The adoption and advancement of renewable energy sources has grown immensely, with solar panels being among the most adopted forms of renewable energy. Attributing to this, the rising number of solar projects are estimated to be primary driving factor for the growth in demand for Photovoltaic mounting systems. The rising demand for solar capacity increases the need for hardware structural components. Moreover, solar mounting structures offer structural support to these panels. The need for increasing solar power generation capacity leads to a rise in the number of solar power plant construction in various nations. Mounting structures play an essential role in ensuring the capacity and efficiency of the solar PV modules as the solar cell’s temperature and sunlight captivity are dependent on them. With an increase in large-scale solar projects, the focus is on ground-mounted PV mounting systems.
For instance, In January 2022, the key player, Billionaire Gautam Adani's logistics-to-energy conglomerate, established a new subsidiary, ANIL, to undertake projects of green hydrogen, wind turbine manufacturing, and generation of low carbon electricity, batteries, and solar modules as it seeks to become the world's largest renewable energy company and manufacture the very less expensive hydrogen. While, in collaboration with EleapsSdn. Bhd., The 5 MWp, & Antah Solar Sdn. Bhd., Canadian Solar announced the start of the largest commercial and industrial ("C&I") construction project in Malaysia. Moreover, in remote areas and residential power generation applications, small-scale PV installations are in high demand for rooftop solar mounting structures. The commercial and agricultural spaces are also contributing to the demand for rooftop mounting structures, with many projects pipelined in Europe and Asia-Pacific. As a result, Solar PV Mounting Systems market revenue expansion is anticipated to be fueled by rising number of solar projects being undertaken globally
The solar PV mounting systems market segmentation, based on product, includes rooftop and ground mounted. The rooftop segment held the majority share in 2022 contributing to around ~50-55% with respect to the Solar PV Mounting Systems market revenue. These are advantageous for residential and commercial buildings as they can be installed easily and do not require much investment in terms of maintenance and capital. The rooftop mounting systems have a longer lifespan averaging 20 years. With solar panels becoming more popular in the commercial and residential sector to meet the electricity need, rooftop panels observe good growth in the forecast period. Homeowners prefer rooftop solar structures as they get incentives from the government to generate clean energy. Additionally, rooftop solar panels are more efficient as they are high and face direct sunlight, and do not have losses from temperature fluctuation.
Based on technology, the Solar PV Mounting Systems segmentation includes fixed and tracking. The fixed segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. Fixed solar mounting structures offer support to solar panels at a fixed angle. The fixed mounting structures are easy to install and do not require heavy investment. These are more common in small-scale rooftop projects and are majorly installed at commercial and residential levels.
Based on components, the global Solar PV Mounting Systems segmentation includes PV modules (panels), inverter, racking, batteries, and others. The PV modules (panels) segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. This market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Factors such as substantial PV projects under construction and in the planning stage, coupled with several government support measures, are expected to increase the cumulative installed capacity of solar energy during the projection period.
The Solar PV Mounting Systems market data has been bifurcated by end user largely into residential, commercial, and industrial. The residential dominated the market in 2022. The key benefits of solar power installation in the residential sector are the generation of free and clean electricity with the utilization of the sun’s abundant power, reduction in carbon footprint, and eventual reduction in electricity bills. Generally, in the residential sector, rooftop mounting installation can be done because of the proper utilization of the terrace area over a home. Furthermore, fixed solar PV mounting systems are preferable to install at homes because of the limited energy consumptions.
