Solar PV Research
Understanding the growth of Solar PV across Europe
About the service
Learn more about the current state of the Solar PV market in Europe, how it is evolving, what the current trends are, and what opportunities show the most promise.
Our Solar PV Research provides insights and data on how the residential and C&I markets are changing, how some companies are innovating in the way PV is being sold to customers, and how some new business models related to self-consumption will be accelerating.
LCP Delta’s Solar PV Research provides data, insight, analysis, and opinion that allow you to understand the opportunities to sell Solar PV to residential and C&I customers, how different players are positioning themselves, what the regulatory frameworks are across Europe, and how customers might buy PV in the coming years.


A new wave of solar PV installations across Europe has begun, spurred by a mix of demand-side and supply side dynamics. Against the backdrop of the 2021/22 energy crisis, customers are increasingly seeing solar PV systems as a hedging tool against electricity price volatility and retail price hikes.
In parallel, we are seeing more engagement from major energy retailers and more competitive solar PV plus tariff offers. New solar PV and battery market entrants have emerged with high growth ambitions – backed by large amounts of capital.
We expect continued growth out to 2030, with distributed solar PV becoming one of the leading sources of electricity in Europe.
