APAC Rooftop Solar Panel Market to Reach $91.3 Billion by 2035 Driven by Government Policies

Published: Apr 2026

APAC rooftop solar panel market was valued at $41.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $91.3 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period (2026–2035). Governments across the globe are promoting solar energy as part of their strategies to combat climate change, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and boost energy security. In nations such as China, clean energy accounts for an increasing share of GDP, rising from 7.2% in 2022 to 9.0% by 2023.  Without this contribution, China's GDP growth would have been much lower than the government's aim. The Chinese government has actively promoted the growth of a solar manufacturing industry.  Through initiatives including innovation funding, land fee and electricity bill exemptions, low-rate loans, tax credits, and grants, the government supported an industrial strategy. In 2023, in response to a downturn in the real estate sector, the federal government implemented a policy to encourage the use of solar electricity on empty and existing construction sites, boosting investment in the technology. Furthermore, rising demand in developing countries has enabled China to lower production prices.

Apart from China, the Indian government is actively promoting domestic manufacturing through several policy initiatives aimed at boosting self-reliance, creating jobs, and reducing import dependence. To strengthen India's solar panel manufacturing environment, the government implemented Basic Customs Duty (BCD) in April 2022, charging 40% on solar modules and 25% on solar cells.  This strategic approach aimed to cut imports and increase domestic solar panel production.  In future budgets, the BCD structure was modified to improve access to upstream resources while still protecting local industry. Furthermore, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) offers financial assistance for solar cell and module manufacturing projects, such as long-term loans, low interest rates, and custom-designed financial instruments for MSMEs and large-scale producers.  Following its "Navratna" designation in 2024, IREDA's ability to promote solar infrastructure is enhanced.

Innovation Leaders Transforming the APAC Rooftop Solar Panel Market

  • In April 2026, Japan Benex Corporation has put a 6-MWdc rooftop solar array into operation in Konan City, Shiga Prefecture. The solar plant was built atop a logistics facility owned by Unified Industrial Co Ltd, a subsidiary of real estate developer UIB Holdings. The system is set to sell its output to external buyers under the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme.
  • In July 2025, Sidel fully connected a 2.1 MW rooftop solar photovoltaic system at its Beijing plant, significantly advancing its green factory initiative and low-carbon manufacturing goals. The system is expected to generate around 4.39 million kWh of electricity annually, covering nearly 60% of the plant’s daily power needs while reducing carbon emissions by about 2,452 tonnes per year.
