Solar Rooftop market size, share & industry analysis, By Connectivity (On-Grid, Off-Grid), By Application (Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Solar rooftop are the solar panels that are placed on the different types of infrastructures. This arrangement is often referred as solar rooftop photovoltaic system. This type of system provides clean form of energy which means it does not form any kind of pollution and does not release harmful gases in the atmosphere. Moreover, this renewable type of energy produced is ecologically and environmentally sustainable and harmless.

The increasing adoption of solar rooftop to produce clean energy is thriving the market. The depleting reserves of fossil fuels like petroleum, crude oil and natural gas is leading towards the development of clean, green and renewable type of energy resources. This is expected to boost the market. Additionally, the stringent rules imposed by governments on use of fossil fuels that produce pollutants like CO and CO₂ shall foster the market growth.

However, installation of solar rooftop is one-time expenditure and involves technical skills and knowledge. The cost of the solar panels and its installation charges are slightly higher than the other sources of energy. This shall hinder the market growth.
