Distributed Solar Power Generation Market to be led by North America, driven by incentives, climate goals, and rising environmental awareness through 2026-2030F.

According to the TechSci Research report titled “Distributed Solar Power Generation Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Distributed Solar Power Generation Market was valued at USD 120.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 171.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. This robust growth is driven by a convergence of factors, including increasing demand for energy security, rising electricity costs, technological advancements, and a global push for sustainability.

One of the major driving forces behind the market’s expansion is the growing emphasis on energy resilience, particularly in response to rising incidents of grid failures and natural disasters. Distributed solar power systems enable localized electricity generation, which significantly reduces dependency on centralized power grids. This is especially critical in remote or disaster-prone regions, where grid infrastructure may be weak or prone to frequent disruptions. By empowering consumers and businesses to produce and consume energy on-site, distributed solar power offers a more stable and reliable electricity supply during emergencies and outages.

The increasing adoption of digital technologies, including smart inverters, monitoring platforms, and Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled solutions, is also transforming the market landscape. These technologies enhance the performance, diagnostics, and maintenance of distributed solar systems, making them more efficient and user-friendly. The ability to monitor real-time performance and optimize system output remotely has made solar installations more accessible and appealing, both for residential users and large-scale commercial facilities.

Moreover, the continuous rise in global electricity prices is pushing households, businesses, and industrial users to seek more economical alternatives. Distributed solar generation offers a practical and cost-effective solution for reducing electricity bills over the long term. By generating electricity on-site, users can reduce transmission losses and avoid peak-time energy costs. As urbanization accelerates and commercial infrastructure continues to expand, the demand for localized, cost-efficient energy sources such as distributed solar is expected to grow further.

Corporate sustainability goals and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments are also fueling investments in distributed solar power. Many organizations are increasingly seeking to reduce their carbon footprints, enhance energy independence, and align with consumer preferences for environmentally responsible practices. Investing in distributed solar systems allows companies to procure clean energy, obtain renewable energy certificates (RECs), and meet internal sustainability targets—while also strengthening their brand image and fulfilling regulatory requirements.

Market Segmentation by Product Type

In terms of product type, the polycrystalline (p-Si) segment held the largest share of the distributed solar power generation market in 2024 and is expected to maintain its leadership throughout the forecast period. Polycrystalline panels, made from multiple silicon crystals, offer a compelling combination of affordability, reliable performance, and widespread availability. While they typically exhibit slightly lower efficiency compared to monocrystalline panels, their significantly lower manufacturing costs make them ideal for distributed solar installations where cost-effectiveness is a critical consideration.

The manufacturing process of polycrystalline panels involves melting silicon and casting it into molds, which simplifies production and reduces energy consumption compared to the more refined process required for monocrystalline panels. This production efficiency translates into lower costs for end users, which is particularly beneficial for residential, commercial, and small-scale industrial installations operating under tight budget constraints.

Furthermore, polycrystalline panels perform reliably across diverse environmental conditions. They are especially effective in areas with consistent sunlight and can tolerate high temperatures well, making them suitable for a variety of geographical regions. Their durability and predictable energy output ensure long-term operational stability, which is essential for distributed solar systems that often operate without constant supervision or maintenance teams.

The mature supply chain and production scalability of polycrystalline technology have also contributed to its dominance in the market. Manufacturers benefit from well-established sourcing and fabrication processes, enabling consistent quality and cost-effective delivery of solar panels. Government incentives and subsidies available in many regions further increase the attractiveness of polycrystalline panels by helping to offset initial installation costs.
