New Delhi, May 5 (NationPress) The solar photovoltaic (PV) balance of system (BoS) market in India is experiencing a significant upward trend, with projections indicating growth from roughly $3 billion in 2024 to nearly $7 billion by 2029. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16 percent, according to a report released on Monday.
Several key factors are propelling this expansion, notably India’s ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and the pledge to derive 50 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, as noted in 1Lattice’s latest industry report.
Supportive initiatives such as PM-KUSUM, the Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Programme, and the Delhi Solar Energy Policy are facilitating broader solar adoption in both rural and urban settings, thereby creating new avenues for innovation, manufacturing, and investment in the BoS sector.
The report delves into the BoS segment, encompassing all essential components of solar PV installations aside from the panels. This includes inverters, mounting structures, trackers, wiring, combiner boxes, circuit protection devices, monitoring systems, charge controllers, and batteries.
“As the global community accelerates its journey toward decarbonization, emphasis must shift beyond solar panels to the necessary infrastructure that supports them. Our current report highlights the crucial role of balance of system components in achieving scalable and sustainable solar energy,” stated Abhishek Maiti, Director of Industrial Goods and Services at 1Lattice.
With India poised for a BoS surge, it is imperative for manufacturers, investors, and policymakers to synchronize their strategies and investments, he noted.
The worldwide BoS market is also anticipated to witness substantial growth, increasing from an estimated $60 billion in 2024 to about $100 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 10 percent, fueled by strong clean energy commitments and incentives in key regions.
As India accelerates its transition to renewable energy, the BoS segment is becoming a vital facilitator in the nation's energy transformation journey.
