Growing number of utility scale solar farms coupled with rising investments for solar energy will fuel the product demand. For instance, in February2024, Lightsource bp received USD 348 million financing package for its 2 utility-scale solar projects in Texas. Furthermore, increasing use of modern & smart solutions such as digital twins by major EPC players to improve planning, specifications, operational efficiency & personnel training for projects will complement the business scenario in the forecasted timeframe.
Based on technology, the market is segmented into PV and CSP. The PV solar EPC is projected to grow over USD 56.5 billion by 2032 owing to surging demand for a commercially available, reliable & efficient solution possessing significant potential for long-term renewable energy growth. Ongoing introduction of technological development roadmaps along with supportive investments by private & public sectors to stimulate the development of utility-scale solar energy generation will drive the business scenario. In addition, significant decline in the cost of PV components is set to foster the industry outlook.
Based on classification, the North America Solar EPC Market is segmented into rooftop and ground mounted. The ground mounted solar EPC market is set to grow at a rate of more than 5.5% by 2032. Introduction of clean energy drives, green bonds, portfolio standards and plans along with ongoing industrial development focused at adopting renewable energy systems will enhance the business growth. Strategic contracts and collaborations among major industry players delivering EPC services and solutions combined with continuous growth of large scale and grid connected power generation systems will sway the industry statistics.
Based on end use, the North America Solar EPC Market is segmented into residential, commercial & industrial and utility. Commercial & industrial witnessed a market share of over 38% in 2023. Public funding and government initiatives to spur solar energy expansion & tackle climate related risks across various sectors will positively drive the business growth. Moreover, establishment of strong supply chain for components & materials for project development coupled with shifting consumer focus to reduce dependency on conventional fuels will propel the business scenario.
U.S. solar EPC market is projected to grow over USD 55 billion by 2032. Introduction of several codes and standards, federal tax credits, and significant schemes will support the adoption of solar energy across the U.S., thereby enhancing the business growth. For instance, in August 2022, under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, an expansion of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) was introduced that provides a credit on percentage basis over income taxes levied on the cost of a solar PV system. Additionally, robust research & development activities by major companies aligned with enhanced penetration of renewable energy solutions will boost the product demand.
Abengoa, Bechtel Corporation, BHEL, Black & Veatch Holding Company, Canadian Solar, VIKRAM SOLAR LTD. are some leading industry players. Many corporations are committing to sourcing a significant portion of their energy needs from renewable sources as part of their sustainability goals. By partnering with other firms or entering into strategic agreements, EPC companies can access new geographic markets, target different customer segments, or offer additional services including energy storage integration, O&M (Operations and Maintenance), or financing solutions, thereby expanding the market reach.
