The solar epc market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, there has been a robust expansion of the solar EPC market. The market's size is projected to rise from $232.58 billion in 2024 to $248.35 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include government incentives and subsidies, reduction in the costs of solar technology, heightened environmental awareness and sustainability, energy independence objectives, and an increase in energy demand.
The solar epc market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Projected to see robust expansion in the coming years, the solar EPC market is set to escalate to a value of $306.38 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%.
The envisaged growth during the forecast period is tied largely to a slew of factors including the adoption of decentralized energy systems, floating solar project development, governmental renewable energy commitments, global shift towards clean energy, environmental literacy and sustainability. Key trends shaping the forecast period encompass the use of bifacial solar technology, energy storage amalgamation, digital and IoT integration, floating solar farms emergence, green financing and responsible investments, decentralized power generation, and breakthroughs in solar tracking systems.
The surge in the need for renewable energy sources is anticipated to fuel the advancement of the solar EPC market in the future. Renewable energy pertains to energy harnessed from sources that are naturally restocked within a human lifespan, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, geothermal heat, and biomass. Solar EPC contributes in the execution of solar energy projects, offering a comprehensive approach encompassing design, procurement, and construction. This method aids in controlling costs, maintaining quality, and simplifying the overall process, thus making it an appreciable resource for the growth and enhancement of renewable energy sources, notably solar energy. For example, based on the statistics released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, a UK-based government entity, in September 2024, in the second quarter of 2024, the proportion of total energy generation in the UK from renewable sources was 51.6%, indicating an increase of 9.9 percentage points (PP) in Q2 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. Three-quarters of these new installations were contributed by solar PV. Hence, the escalating demand for renewable energy sources propels the solar EPC market.

Leading companies in the solar EPC market are launching utility-scale solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) divisions, a move aimed at broadening their offerings in the renewable energy sector and fostering competitiveness. Utility-scale solar EPC branches are key to the growth of grand-scale solar energy ventures as they ensure the system's effective design, construction, and activation for optimal energy generation. In September 2022, for instance, Jingoli Power, a US-based firm offering solar EPC, inaugurated a fresh solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) segment to extend its renewable energy services suite. The new division aspires to use the company's expertise in program and project management, construction, and materials oversight to enhance dependable utility-scale solar advancement. The growth of the EPC Solar unit paves the way for two US EPC projects with Lightsource BP and has future plans for utility-scale solar projects.
