How many rooftop solar panels are installed per trillion

How many households rely on rooftop solar PV by 2030?

Approximately 100 million households rely on rooftop solar PV by 2030 - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.

How many households are relying on solar PV?

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.

How many solar panels were installed in 2022?

In 2022, 243 gigawatts’ worth of solar panels were installed worldwide; in 2021, 175 GW were deployed. Both figures were record highs, but the amount installed in 2023 alone was greater than the amount deployed across the two previous, record-breaking years combined. BloombergNEF data includes utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar.

How much rooftop area is required for solar PV installation?

We assumed that the estimated building footprint is representative of the available rooftop area in each FN i.e., 100% of the estimated rooftop is available for solar panel installation. To install 1 kWp of roof-mounted solar PV, 10 m 2 of rooftop area is required, which is in line with the thin film technology currently in use.
