Grid Connected PV Systems Market Trends

• 
  

  The benefits associated with grid-connected PV systems drive market growth.

  
  

Market CAGR for grid connected PV system is being driven by the advantages of grid-connected photovoltaic systems. Solar PV systems are an excellent source of energy, particularly in the home and commercial sectors. To generate electricity, utility-scale power facilities have also included renewable sources such as solar PV. This helps to reduce the use of fossil fuels in power plants while also lowering prices. 

Solar PV generated during the day and stored in energy storage devices can be used at night or during emergencies like blackouts.  This lessens the strain on electricity plants. Furthermore, it is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique of boosting electricity producing capacity to meet increased demand. Such benefits make grid-connected solar PV systems more appealing and will enhance demand during the predicted period.

Off-grid communities have very little or no access to grid-connected electricity. Such locations rely on photovoltaic secondary sources, such as solar energy. Many parts of the world have huge sections that are off-grid and do not have access to grid-connected electricity. According to the World Energy Outlook, more than one billion people worldwide are still without power.

Moreover, microgrids are more reliable since they are not influenced by power outages in the main grid. They also minimise the cost of extending the grid to rural regions. They can generate electricity from renewable sources such as solar PV and wind power. Many natural disasters have demonstrated the vulnerability of centralised grid structures. Governments all around the world are encouraging the use of microgrids because of their high resilience in the face of natural disasters.

 For instance, in November 2019, Tata Power announced its intention to build 10,000 renewable microgrids by 2026, substantially doubling the number of microgrid projects now in operation around the world. During the projection period, these microgrid projects will boost the use of solar PV, which provides clean, reliable, and affordable electricity. Thus, driving the Grid Connected PV Systems Market revenue.
