Solar Home Systems Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The availability of favorable financing options is notably driving the solar home systems market growth, although factors such as competition from alternative sources of energy may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the solar home systems industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Solar Home Systems Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global solar home systems market growth is the availability of favorable financing options such as fee-for-service or PAYG. For the PAYG products, companies rent out solar lighting systems, which constitute home products such as lights along with solar-based power supply mechanisms, to consumers. The customers then pay for the product in installments or for the use of the product as a service and companies minimize transaction costs, remotely activate services, and automate payments. Under this model, customers can opt to either take over the ownership of the systems or just purchase solar home systems as a service. For instance, in India, Greenlight Planet's EasyBuy solution leverages the PAYG model to promote the adoption of solar lamps and home lighting systems. Pollinate Energy Ltd., which is a social enterprise, uses a distribution network that employs the PAYG concept to make quality solar lighting products affordable and accessible to underprivileged consumers. Such factors will drive the market growth in the forecast period.
Key Solar Home Systems Market Trend
Rising support from NGOs in African and Asian countries is one of the key solar home systems market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Various NGOs are active in Tanzania, such as Solar Circle, a non-profit organization that promotes access to solar power in rural Tanzania, East Africa. Solar Circle also distributes solar cookers and lights in the Masasi district of Southern Tanzania to address the need for a clean and sustainable energy source as well as curb the high rates of deforestation. Similarly, as a part of the Lighting One Billion Lives initiative, which began in 2007, the NGO and India's energy research institute, TERI, have been coordinating the distribution of solar lamps in villages of India, working with vendors to lower the prices of solar lamps, training personnel and providing technical support, and working with several other organizations to help run the charging stations. Such factors will boost the growth of the market in focus.
Key Solar Home Systems Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global solar home systems market growth is the competition from alternative sources of energy. According to the IEA, power generation using fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, accounted for 64% of the global electricity mix, whereas renewable energy sources such as solar home, wind, and hydro accounted for just 26%. According to Technavio analysis, among the clean energy technologies employed worldwide in 2021, wind and hydro accounted for larger shares in power generation compared with solar. Moreover, efforts are being directed to boost the growth of hydro and wind power generation. For instance, the State Grid Corp. of China has been resolving the bottleneck issues in the transmission and grid connection of wind power in the country. Furthermore, offshore wind power plants result in the production of a higher amount of electricity compared with their onshore counterparts, which may hamper the adoption of solar home systems.
This solar home systems market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
