The number of households relying on solar PV grows from 25 million today to more than 100 million by 2030 in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario). At least 190 GW will be installed from 2022 each year and this number will continue to rise due to increased competitiveness of PV and the growing appetite for clean energy sources.
In its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario, IEA projects the world to have 100 million households with PV by 2030. That is, a four-fold increase in the number of residential rooftop solar systems compared to the 2022 figure. Several articles explored aspects related to energy justice issues in the DGPV adoption in different contexts.
However, the net value or overall economic benefit potentially brought by solar energy is closely linked to prevailing energy prices, with evidence suggesting that high energy prices positively affect the adoption of solar PV.
Qureshi et al. claim that a high level of generation enables households to switch more appliances to using solar PV, consequently increasing the likelihood of adoption. Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption.
Approximately 100 million households rely on rooftop solar PV by 2030 - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
Leenheer et al. suggest that the available infrastructure and energy supplies coming from the grid also affect the market of solar PV. The frequent disruptions in grid electricity, often experienced in underdeveloped countries, encourage consumers to seek alternative ways to meet energy needs.
