The Solar Panel & Energy Market in 2024
The global output of solar panel installation is expected to be static compared to 2023 but this global output has doubled over the previous 2 years. This shows the steady increase in the amount of solar panels installed and this looks to very much be on the increase in the future which will be interesting to see. The reason that solar panel installation is continuing to increase in popularity is due to:
- Individuals and businesses wanting to generate their own power as well as move away from major energy suppliers are opting to pursue solar energy and solar panel installations.
- Global incentives in the form of grants are making solar panels a more popular option. These incentives were similar to electric vehicle grants that stimulated the growth of the electric vehicle market. These grants make it attractive to install solar panels.
- Innovations in technology are reducing the overall cost of buying and installing solar panels. This combined with global incentives is ensuring that solar panels continue to be a popular choice.
Combining Solar Panels With Other Renewable & Clean Energy Sources
Solar panels work well in tandem with other renewable energy sources and energy-efficient systems. Combining this with investment into a property, such as appropriate upgrades to glazing and insulation can massively reduce the environmental impact of a building and costs on energy bills. The main systems that can be combined with solar panels are as follows. Solar panels can be used to directly power systems or a building or store electricity in a battery.
- Ground-source heat pumps and air-source heat pumps use heat from the ground to heat properties and are another fantastic source of renewable energy. These systems combined with solar panels can power most of the property with renewable energy.
- Underfloor heating systems are more energy efficient than traditional heating systems as they provide more even heating distribution. These systems integrate with ground-source heat pumps for heating or electric underfloor heating can be powered by solar electricity.
The future of sustainability is looking bright especially with solar panels continuing to be a popular choice for homeowners and business owners.
