Approximately 100 million households rely on rooftop 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.

What drives solar energy adoption in developing countries?
We analyse actual uptake of solar home systems using household surveys for 11 developing countries. Being rural, having a higher income, and lacking access to the grid are all identified as drivers of solar use. We do not find evidence that households in sunnier areas are more likely to have solar home systems across countries.

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.
Does household access to credit and monthly income influence solar PV adoption?
The regression results reveal that household access to credit and monthly income had a positive and significant effect on solar PV adoption. Specifically, access to credit and monthly household income did influence the adoption of solar PV at the 1% (p < 0.001) level of significance.
How many households will have solar panels by 2050?
In its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario, IEA projects the world to have 100 million households with PV by 2030. That is, a four-fold increase in the number of residential rooftop solar systems compared to the 2022 figure. Several articles explored aspects related to energy justice issues in the DGPV adoption in different contexts.
How does solar PV affect household adoption?
Qureshi et al. claim that a high level of generation enables households to switch more appliances to using solar PV, consequently increasing the likelihood of adoption. Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption.
What are the determinants of solar energy adoption in Africa?
As such, the determinants of solar energy technology adoption are likely to deviate from the norm that prevails in most African countries, the majority of which reside in the rural area with limited access to electricity or are primarily dependent on traditional energy sources such as kerosene.
Does home ownership influence solar panel adoption?
In addition, dwelling ownership is a substantial facilitator of solar panel uptake. This result is complemented by the establishment of a positive relationship between the number of people in the household and solar panel adoption. Furthermore, rural location appears to incentivize solar panel adoption.
