Solar Lighting System Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Light Source (LED, Others), By Grid Type (Off-Grid, On-Grid), By Offering (Hardware, Software and Services), By Application (Industrial, Highways and Roadways, Commercial, Residential, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

The global solar lighting system market size was valued at USD 10.92 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 13.44 billion in 2025 to USD 57.54 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.75% during the forecast period. The solar lighting system comprises lamps, solar panels, inverters, batteries, and charge controllers. The advancements in technology in the field of renewable energy alternatives and the rising shift towards renewable energy resources have developed a demand for solar lighting systems.

Based on the light source, the market is classified into LED and others like CFL and induction. The LED segment accounted for the major share of the market and it is anticipated that it will maintain its attractiveness during the forecast period, as they are widely used due to the eco-friendly nature due to zero emissions, their durability and long life, and their affordability. Based on the grid type, the global market is classified into off-grid and hybrid. The meter data management segment accounted for the major share in the market. Off-grid systems are standalone and the power generated is stored and can be used to convert to electricity when required. This gives a lot of flexibility in use, making off-grid an attractive segment.

Based on the offering, the market is classified into hardware and software & services. The hardware segment accounted for the major share of the market and it is anticipated that it will maintain its attractiveness during the forecast period, due to the high demand for a rechargeable battery that is used to store solar power. Based on the application, the global market is classified into industrial, highways and roadways, commercial, residential, and others. The commercial segment accounted for the major share in the market. Solar lighting systems are used in commercial complexes and buildings to light corridors, basements, and outdoor lights.

Several governments and organizations across the globe are issuing regulatory mandates and legislative directives regarding the reduction of carbon emissions. The regulations coupled with the consumer obligation to shift to renewable energy sources are a key factor for driving the global solar lighting system market during the forecast period.

The key market restraint for the market is the high cost of materials and installing the solar lighting system. Also, inadequate institutionalization of LEDs by governments and regulating bodies stall the solar lighting system market growth.
