Report Description


Indian Solar Energy Market is expected to exceed at a significant CAGR of ~8% during the forecast period (2021-2027)
. The Indian Solar energy scenario has witnessed a visible impact in the last few years. Decentralized and distributed applications of Solar energy have befitted millions of people in Indian Villages by meeting their lighting, cooking and other energy needs in an environmentally friendly manner. Social and economic benefits of solar energy include the reduction in drudgery among rural women and girls originally engaged in the collection of fuel wood by a time-consuming process and had to cook in smoky kitchens. This has reduced the risks of contracting lung and eye ailments, employment generation in the village and ultimately improving the standard of living and creation of opportunity for economic activities at village level. According to the assessment by the National Institute of Solar Energy, the country has the solar potential of about 748 GW if 3% of the waste land area can be covered by Solar PV modules. Solar energy has become the central most important project in the National Action Plan on Climate Change with National Solar Mission as one of the key missions.

The National Solar Mission (NSM) was launched on the 11th of January 2010. NSM is the major initiative of the Government of India with active participation from States to promote ecological sustainable growth while also addressing energy security challenges of India. The Mission targets to installing 100 GW of grid-connected solar power plants by 2022. The Covid-19 pandemic significantly increased the supply of solar panels which resulted in the delay of solar projects. Major factors which are driving the market growth include declining costs of solar modules and government policies, such as slowing 100% FDI under automatic renewable power generation route and distribution projects that is expected to increase the participation from global players into the Indian market. Moreover, the sharp decline in prices of solar technologies in recent years by more than 52% between 2010 and 2020 have played a major role in the driving the solar PV market in the country. The key drawback of solar energy market is the availability of lower cost alternatives in China which manufactures 8-10% cheaper modules than India. This has caused a huge dependency on imports of solar panels has hindered domestic manufacturing which be affect the market growth.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst Technology, Concentrated Solar Power Systems segment holds the major share”

Based on technology, the India Solar Energy market is segmented into Photovoltaic systems and Concentrated solar power systems. Concentrated solar power systems are further sub segmented into Parabolic trough, Solar power tower, Fresnel reflectors, and Dish Stirling. Amongst Type, the Concentrated solar power systems segment dominated the market in 2020. Coal fired thermal power plants are the dominant source of energy generation in India. Coal-fired thermal plants utilize 5-7 Cu m water per MWh of electricity generated, where concentrated solar power systems utilize only 2-3 Cu m water per MWh of electricity generated for cooling and washing mirror surfaces.

“Amongst Solar Module, Polycrystalline Segment holds the major share”

Based on Solar Module, the India Solar Energy Market is segmented into Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Cadmium telluride, Amorphous silicon cells, and Others. Polycrystalline solar panels are most used in India because of their lower cost as compared to monocrystalline solar panels. However, monocrystalline panels are more power efficient than polycrystalline ones because of their structural difference.

“Amongst Application, Residential segment holds the major share”

Based on Application, the India Solar Energy market is segmented into Residential, Commercial, and Industrial. Amongst application, the Residential segment dominated the market in 2020. Fossil fuels and electricity bills are getting expensive due to limited resources; thus, people are shifting towards solar panels for ecofriendly as well as cost effective sources. Solar Panels and Solar devices are alternatives to the conventional source of energy, and the demand of solar panels is increasing constantly.

“Amongst End-Use, Lighting segment holds the major share”

Based on End-Use, the India Solar Energy market is segmented into Electricity Generation, Lighting, Heating, and Charging. Amongst End-Use, the Lighting segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Close to 300 million people in India have no access to electricity and depend on wood fire or kerosene for lighting needs. The Prakash Path initiative started jointly by the government and private sector is working on introducing solar lighting in rural parts of India.

“South India represents one of the largest markets of Indian Solar Energy market”

For a better understanding of the market dynamics of the Indian Solar Energy market, a detailed analysis was conducted for different regions across India including East India, West India, North India, and South India. South India dominated the market owing to increasing energy demand in the region.
