Rapid growth in the adoption of portable devices, such as tablets, smartphones, and e-readers, is a primary trend driving market growth. These devices consume relatively small amounts of electrical power, contributing to increased demand for energy-efficient solutions. Additionally, the integration of IoT technology is expanding, with potential applications extending to various consumer items and electrical devices. This connectivity enables energy consumption for data collection, processing, storage, transmission, and reception. Off-grid solar power systems play a crucial role in meeting the energy needs of portable devices and IoT ecosystems. These systems provide sustainable energy solutions in remote locations or where grid access is limited, supporting uninterrupted operation of portable devices through solar energy conversion. As the market continues to evolve, Off-grid Solar Power Systems are poised to play a pivotal role in powering the expanding ecosystem of portable devices and IoT-enabled consumer products.
Additionally, aligning market trends and analysis of the number of small portable devices with integrated solar modules and rechargeable batteries built into the design has progressed considerably. Furthermore, certain devices use rechargeable batteries rather than disposable batteries for operations, thus allowing the devices to be recharged using solar home systems. Consequently, the increase in the use of portable devices is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Energy access in the solar home systems market is being revolutionized by the PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) model, particularly in underserved areas. This innovative approach eliminates the need for upfront payments, allowing customers to acquire solar solutions through manageable installments. Solar panels and batteries are installed at the customer's location, and payments are made on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, often facilitated through mobile money services and other convenient payment methods. Remote monitoring technology is integral to PAYG systems, enabling providers to monitor payment status and system usage remotely. Solar PV Balance Of Systems (BOS) components play a critical role in supporting the integration and operation of solar energy systems. BOS components include inverters, mounting structures, cables, connectors, and monitoring devices, ensuring efficient and reliable performance of solar PV installations. As the demand for solar home systems grows, the role of BOS components in optimizing system efficiency and reliability becomes increasingly vital.

Furthermore, in the PAYG business model, companies rent out solar home systems, and consumers use basic mobile phones to make payments on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Thus, PAYG solar home systems are being used as an effective solution to provide people, particularly in African countries, with access to electricity. To do so, governments, as well as NGOs in several countries, are supporting the adoption of PAYG solar home systems. Thus, such factors will drive market growth through the PAYG segment during the forecast period.

Middle East and Africa is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Off-grid solar power presents a rapid and cost-effective solution to enhance global energy access, notably in regions like Malawi aiming for a 30% grid access rate by 2030. Initiatives such as USAID's Power Africa SHS Kickstarter program stimulate demand for solar home systems through grants, financial support, consumer education, and policy reforms. Private firms leverage advancements in technology and mobile payment schemes, particularly through the PAYG model, to meet rural electrification needs in Africa. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth in this region during the forecast period.
The availability of favorable financing options is the key factor driving market growth. Fee-for-service or PAYG concepts for solar home systems have been gaining popularity in regions such as Africa and Asia. The companies that are actively involved in the PAYG solar home systems business are known as off-grid energy companies or distributed energy service companies. For PAYG products, companies rent out solar lighting systems, which constitute home products such as lights, TVs, and refrigerators, along with solar-based power supply mechanisms, to consumers.
Additionally, in the dynamic Indian solar power market, the PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) model is revolutionizing energy access by allowing customers to pay for solar home systems in installments or as a service. This innovative approach provides immediate access to clean and ready-to-use solar solutions without the necessity of obtaining a loan. Customers have the flexibility to either take ownership of the systems or utilize solar home systems as a service, depending on their preferences and needs. These factors are expected to significantly drive market growth in the India solar power sector during the forecast period, catering to increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and expanding access to reliable electricity across diverse consumer segments.
Low awareness about alternative sustainable technologies is a challenge that affects market growth. There is a dire need to increase awareness among the target market regarding clean and sustainable energy-generation technologies, the benefits of such technologies, as well as hazards involved in the use of carbon-intensive fuels for illuminating homes. The shortage of entrepreneurial capacity and skills in the energy sector has limited the marketing of solar products and other modern energy technologies among consumers.
Moreover, a challenge resulting from the lack of awareness, which is difficult to overcome, is market spoilage. Market spoilage occurs due to the incidence of sub-standard or fake products in the market. Poor-quality and cheap products hinder market penetration as end-users lose faith in the technology because of a bad experience with sub-standard products. Thus, such factors will impede market growth during the forecast period.
