Drivers

High Demand for Smart Solar Technology to Boost Smart Solar Market

The high demand for smart solar technology is predicted to boost smart solar market growth over the forecast period. This technology is the improvement of existing technology with enhanced functionality of components and synchronizing with the currently available systems. It offers low maintainability, optimized performance, operational efficiencies, and improved functionality. Smart solar technology allows real-time monitoring, communication efficiency, and analytics that allows them in delivering improved operational performance and control. Hence, the growing need for non-conventional efficient energy management solutions across the globe will offer surplus opportunities for smart solar solutions & service providers.

Restraints

High Maintenance Cost to act as Market Restraints

The high investment and maintenance costs, low conversion efficiency, and the growing risk of cyber-attacks are likely to limit the smart solar market revenue over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Smart Solar Industry

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on different business sectors like hospitality, aviation, manufacturing, and others has been unprecedented and explicit. The restrictions and lockdown resulting from the outbreak has severely impacted economies across the world, creating huge labor shortage, delay in projects, and disruption in supply chains. The renewable sector in several countries across the globe is dependent mostly on imports from other regions, particularly China. About 80% modules and solar cells in India get imported from China along with other equipment such as raw materials, prefabricated structures, and inverters. Solar project developers in India are concerned regarding delay of products following the slowdown of manufacturing in China due to government imposed lockdowns. The leading solar equipment suppliers have experienced production delays owing to the pandemic resulting in a huge backlog to fulfill orders. For instance, the Seychelles government in July 2020 confirmed that there will be a delay in the solar PV power plant’s construction due to concerns regarding the global pandemic.

Regional Takeaway

APAC to Remain Forerunner in Smart Solar Market

The APAC region is predicted to remain forerunner in the market over the forecast period. The integration of information flow and communication technology in commercial buildings and households, huge technological spending, penetration of component and meter manufacturing in Japan, India, and China, increasing government support for solar energy use, increasing number of smart city projects, and increase in electricity tariffs are adding to the smart solar market growth in the region. Besides, high solar irradiance levels, low manufacturing cost of components, high carbon emission reduction targets by India and China, and growing need for energy consumption, are also adding market growth.
