The utility solar PV EPC market is anticipated to grow due to the rising demand for electricity and the necessity for dependable power generation. Electricity comes from the flow of charge carriers, typically electrons, through a conductor. There's an increasing interest in generating electricity from utility-scale solar PV projects to lessen carbon emissions and fight against climate change. This provides a substantial and expandable clean energy source that aids the rise of solar energy, and it contributes to a shift toward greener and more sustainable energy. For example, as per GOV.UK's data from September 2024, the renewable energy generation in 2023 was about equivalent to 2022, hitting a fresh peak of 135.8 TWh - an increase of 0.3 percent from the previous year. Wind power saw a rise of 2.2 percent, setting a new record of 82.3 TWh, while solar power also saw an increase of 4.1 percent to achieve a new record of 13.9 TWh. Hence, the escalating electricity demand coupled with the need for dependable power generation is driving the growth of the utility solar PV EPC market.

Significant progress has been made by major firms in the utility solar PV EPC market due to advancements in energy storage technologies. These advancements have enabled the creation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in utility solar PV EPC, facilitating constant power supply and encouraging the assimilation of solar energy into the grid. Energy storage enhances the grid's stability and addresses intermittency problems linked to solar power. To illustrate, Canadian Solar's e-STORAGE, a top solar module producer based in Canada, rolled out SolBank 3.0 in December 2023. This utility-scale energy storage system exhibits considerable enhancements and is housed in a 20-foot container. SolBank 3.0 amalgamates high energy density cells, evolved safety systems, smart liquid cooling, and proactive balance system controls. It can provide power up to 2.35 MW and capacity of 5 MWh. It shows a substantial increase of up to 45% in the product-level capacity and a decrease of up to 40% in the balance of system costs.
