5 FAQs about [Future market size of photovoltaic and energy storage]

How big is the solar photovoltaic market?

The solar photovoltaic market size exceeded USD 289.6 billion in 2023 and is set to expand at more than 8.3% CAGR from 2024 to 2032, due to the increasing focus on clean electricity through various solar PV targets.

Is energy storage a viable option for utility-scale solar energy systems?

Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.

What is a solar photovoltaic system?

A solar photovoltaic (PV) system is a renewable energy system that converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor materials. The components include solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, electrical components and battery storage.

How many solar installations will BNEF expect in 2024?

BNEF expects another 17–19 GWdc of solar installations in 2024, with a possibility of a slowdown in the distributed sector due to the government's efforts to slow this market. Source: EIA, Form 923.

What percentage of solar installations were installed in Q4 2023?

Utility-scale PV represented 83% of Q4 2023 solar installations—its highest percentage ever. Residential installs fell in the second half of 2023— the first time since 2017. Note: EIA reports values in Wac, which is standard for utilities. The solar industry has traditionally reported in Wdc. See the next slide for values reported in Wdc.
