Europe Lightweight Rooftop Solar PV Markets 2024-2025 & 2034 with Focus on Commercial and Industrial Installations - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Europe Lightweight Rooftop Solar PV Market: Focus on Commercial and Industrial Installation" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Europe lightweight rooftop solar PV market will reach 1,037.7 GW by 2034 from 704.1 GW in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 3.96% in the forecasted period of 2024-2034.

Europe's lightweight rooftop solar PV market is expanding rapidly due to strong regulatory support for renewable energy, regional sustainability goals, and advances in materials research. These cutting-edge systems, which use thin-film technology and polymer-based substrates, are 30-60% lighter than traditional panels while providing similar efficiency with a much lower structural load. This makes them perfect for buildings with a small roof capacity, particularly in crowded cities.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is becoming more and more popular in Europe, and its deployment is being accelerated by supportive legislative frameworks like the European Green Deal and feed-in tariffs and subsidies at the national level. These regulations encourage energy self-sufficiency and decarbonisation in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors. Europe's objectives for net-zero carbon buildings, circular construction, and energy efficiency are all effectively served by lightweight PV systems.

Concerns about reduced efficiency and durability in comparison to conventional modules are being addressed by ongoing design and material advancements. The argument for the use of lightweight PV is being strengthened by increased weather resistance, increased energy yields, and improved integration possibilities. Lightweight rooftop solar PV is becoming a crucial component in facilitating flexible, low-impact solar deployment throughout Europe as the continent steps up its efforts to develop sustainable urban infrastructure and distributed renewable energy.
