Solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Market Outlook
The global solar engineering, procurement, and construction market was valued at USD 1,25,537 Mn in 2020 and is anticipated to reach USD 3,00,000 Mn by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period, due to the growing environmental concerns, as well as strict legislative requirements to reduce GHG emissions. EPC is an acronym for engineering, procurement, and construction.
EPC is a term used in the solar industry to describe a service that includes everything from system design, component sourcing to project installation. It covers everything from coordination to government permissions to maintenance. Customer requirement analysis, site assessment, weather monitoring, structural design, calculation of power generation capability, equipment selection, engineering design, and 3D modelling of the proposed solar power plant are all included in the engineering design.

Global Solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Market Dynamics
Growing Focus On Renewable Energy Sources and Positive Clean Energy Outlook
Growing emphasis on renewable energy sources, as well as the positive clean energy outlook as a result of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and concern about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, are expected to drive the demand for solar engineering procurement and construction (EPC). Moreover, growing number of projects utilizing renewable energy sources is propelling the market. For example, in July 2020, a 750 MW solar plant was commissioned in Madhya Pradesh. The Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power consists of three solar producing units, each having a capacity of 250 MW.
Rising Concerns for Fuel Demand
The global solar EPC market as gained significant momentum, owing to the ongoing discussion over environmental degradation. Significant growth in consumer environmental concerns, as well as the implementation of different rigorous rules to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, drove organizations to implement effective energy saving techniques such as solar EPC. Significant changes and improvements, as well as increased cost-competitiveness, are expected to have a favorable impact on market dynamics in the future years.
Issues Related to Land Acquisition, Engineering, Supply Chain, Site Operations, and Liaising
Issues related to land acquisition, engineering, supply chain, site operations, and liaising are expected to hinder the global solar EPC market during the forecast period. Every project is unique and, to some extent, necessitates novel ideas and techniques, both on technical and operational fronts. Innovative engineering techniques and procedures help to speed up the project setup. In order to build a novel engineering system, EPC players require extensive geotechnical data, availability of solar resources, and ambient conditions. Appropriate completion as the project schedule is vastly overlapping while the implementation is driven by a lean team is a major challenge.
Growing Demand for Electricity
Global power consumption expanded significantly as a result of economic development and population growth. Rising living standards and infrastructural development are driving the demand for power generation. For example, China's power demand climbed by 4.5 percent in 2019 compared to 2018. In order to accommodate the rising demand, most nations are building new solar power facilities or expanding the capacity of existing ones.
This is expected to promote the expansion of the solar power sector, which is projected to create opportunities for players in the solar engineering procurement and construction market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing Investment in Solar Energy
Several corporations are installing renewable energy facilities as a result of environmental laws. Several countries are focusing on environment-friendly power generation options in order to minimize carbon emissions. Solar energy is one of the most affordable renewable energy sources. As a result, several governments are investing considerably in solar energy. For example, Asia Pacific deployed more than 67 GW of new solar projects in 2019. As a result, such a spectacular yearly installation of solar capacity benefits global industry growth. Increasing investment in solar energy is expected to create opportunities for the players in the solar EPC market.
