Overview of the Solar Panel Roof Mounting Kit Industry
2023-04-18
In 2023, the global renewable energy transition process continued to accelerate. As a core force in clean and low-carbon energy, solar energy drove the explosive growth of the rooftop photovoltaic market, and the supporting solar panel roof mounting kit industry also ushered in dual opportunities of technological iteration and market expansion. Throughout the year, the industry showed an overall trend of policy dividends, frequent technological innovations, and surging market demand. Enterprises at home and abroad have made efforts in product upgrading and market layout, promoting the transformation of mounting kits towards high efficiency, lightweight, and convenience.
Policy Relaxation Empowers the Market, Global Installation Demand Continues to Rise
In 2023, governments around the world introduced policies to support the development of rooftop photovoltaic, injecting strong momentum into the solar panel roof mounting kit market. On November 30, the UK government announced revisions to planning permission rules, removing the requirement for planning permission for commercial and industrial rooftop photovoltaic installations exceeding 1 megawatt, and allowing flat-roofed residential buildings to install photovoltaic panels without planning permission. This significantly reduced installation processes and costs, effectively stimulating the demand for rooftop mounting kits in residential, commercial and industrial sectors, and helping the UK advance towards its 2035 target of 70 gigawatts of solar power generation.
The Denver Municipal Government in the United States also optimized the permitting policy for residential solar photovoltaic systems, clarifying that photovoltaic installation projects for single-family, double-family residences and townhouses do not require a design plan signed by a professional engineer if the installed capacity does not exceed 10 kilowatts and does not include generators or solar shingles. This simplified the permit application process, lowered the threshold for residents to install, and further released terminal market demand.
In the Chinese market, driven by the "dual carbon" goal and the pilot policy for the county-wide promotion of distributed photovoltaic power generation, the newly installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power reached 55.6 gigawatts in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 45%, of which rooftop photovoltaic accounted for more than 70%, directly driving the market size of rooftop mounting kits to exceed 8 billion yuan. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development clearly required that the photovoltaic coverage rate of newly built public institutional buildings and factory roofs should not be less than 50%, and 12 provinces introduced local mandatory installation policies, further expanding the application scenarios and market demand for mounting kits.
Global market data shows that the global photovoltaic mounting system market size reached 22 billion US dollars in 2023. As a core supporting component, rooftop mounting kits accounted for an important share, with a significant year-on-year growth in market demand throughout the year. It is expected to maintain a steady growth trend in the next few years, and the global market size is expected to climb to 30.25 billion US dollars by 2032.
Continuous Deepening of Technological Iteration, Significant Improvement in Product Adaptability and Convenience
In 2023, the solar panel roof mounting kit industry witnessed intensive technological innovations. Enterprises focused on product adaptability, installation efficiency and structural stability, launching a number of upgraded products to adapt to different roof types, component specifications and regional environmental needs.
Domestic enterprise Mibet launched a number of flat-roof matrix ballast mounting kits throughout the year, achieving precise adaptation to different user needs. Its RMI series kits adopt high-strength aluminum alloy material, with optional installation angles of 5° and 10°, improving wind resistance through ballast plate and wind deflector design while reducing roof load-bearing. The upgraded RMI Pro series expands the installation angle to 0-30°, which can adapt to different light directions and is suitable for use in medium wind pressure areas. The RM-Ad series is optimized for large photovoltaic components, adding fixed positions on the long side of the components to prevent component sinking and deformation, and is equipped with adjustable bases and anti-slip corrugated surfaces to further improve installation stability. In addition, Mibet also launched a full wind deflector matrix ballast kit adapted to the European market, adopting pre-installed design and tool-free connectors to greatly improve installation efficiency, and providing a variety of ballast options to meet different installation environment needs, which is highly favored by European users such as Germany.
