What is Rooftop Solar Photovoltaics Market?
Increasing concerns about energy security and energy access, along with volatile oil prices in recent decades, have led to the need to produce and use an alternative, low-carbon technology options such as renewables. A rooftop solar photovoltaic system, mounted on the roof, is an electrical installation that converts solar energy into electricity. This can be used to meet the building’s own energy consumption requirements or, in certain situations, fed back into the electrical grid. The various government taking initiatives for solar energy which is boosting the rooftop solar photovoltaic market. For example, the Government of India has set a challenging target of 40,000 MWp of Grid-Interactive Rooftop Solar PV Plants during the next five years. These rooftop solar PV plants will be set up in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional sectors in the country ranging from 1 kWp to 500 kWp capacity.

Market Leaders & Development Strategies
In Feb 2020, Canadian Solar Inc.announced the acquisition of a 47.5 MWp portfolio of solar projects under development in Chile. These projects will become operational in two different stages, beginning from the fourth quarter of 2020.
In November 2018, the Ministry introduced the MEMR Regulation 49/2018 for rooftop solar PV installations. Under this, all rooftop solar PV installations require prior verification and approval from PT PLN’s local distribution company and the process of verification and approval should be completed within 15 days.
