Distributed PV systems are rapidly expanding their footprint in the global solar energy landscape. Accounting for nearly two-thirds of new PV installations in Europe last year, the trend towards rooftop solar can be seen in major Asian-Pacific solar markets as well, with China leading the charge; of the 216 GW AC of PV capacity installed in 2023, nearly 100 GW were distributed PV systems.
With rooftop solar, the residential segment in particular, being less price-sensitive than ground-mount applications, an increasing number of companies are addressing building-attached solar. And with quickly rising electrification shares of the energy needs in the built environment, customers are increasingly opting for solar plus storage to power their homes, businesses, as well as heat and transport energy requirements.
To look at the different needs and boundary conditions for the residential and C&I segments, TaiyangNews’ 2nd Distributed Solar Conference will take place on 2 days – one for private homes, the other focusing on C&I. Themed “Optimizing PV Power for Homes & Businesses,” we have invited stakeholders from manufacturing, design and installation companies to discuss the latest developments in the rooftop solar space
