Shift Towards Solar Energy Sources to Transform Energy Landscape

The growing awareness regarding the environmental benefits associated with the usage of solar energy sources boosts the demand for solar cables. Solar energy has become the prevalent form of renewable energy. The residential sector throughout India has installed solar panels on roofs, which allow homeowners to receive all the benefits of solar energy. The rooftop solar PV installations contribute to significant demand for solar cables in the residential sector. Moreover, the country is looking for energy independence by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels, enhancing national energy security, further motivating the shift towards solar energy, thus contributing to the rising demand for solar cables in the market. The solar installations, ranging from large-scale solar farms to rooftop systems and off-grid projects, expand across the country, driving the demand for solar cables in the market.

For instance, the government of India during 2025-2026 is actively promoting the growth of solar power projects with new schemes and programs such as solar parks and ultra-mega renewable energy power parks (UMREPPs). The program promotes the use of new solar technologies and components such as solar cables to increase the efficiency and yield of solar installations, thereby increasing their demand in the market.

Solar cables are becoming an essential component for connecting and transmitting power within photovoltaic (PV) systems to end-users, which drives their demand in the market. In addition, the transformation of the energy landscape through solar sources is driving an upward trend in solar cable installations in different sectors. The solar cables can distribute and address solar energy demands, which significantly contributes to attaining sustainability goals and economic resilience. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of panels is decreasing, and vast untapped potential for solar energy in the country, which creates a positive outlook for the expansion of solar cables across different sectors.

Rising Investment Towards Smart Cities and Energy Storage Technologies, Introducing Market Opportunity

The trend towards urbanization and the establishment of smart cities is generating strong market opportunities for the solar cables market. The nation is seeking to upgrade grids that would be able to manage the variability inherent in renewable energy sources, resulting in the increasing demand for solar cables in the market. The nation is attempting to incorporate efficient and sustainable energy solutions into the infrastructure, which is opening space for high-quality solar cables in the market. Solar cables are emerging as an indispensable part of the adoption of technology in the nation. Solar cables are an important part of the systems as cables that ensure effective power transmission from solar panels to inverters, batteries, and the grid.

In smart cities, energy storage and management systems and IoT devices are used extensively, which require quality solar cables to enable power transmission efficiently. The increasing emphasis on green building norms and energy-efficient infrastructure in urban settings is also promoting the use of solar energy systems, increasing the demand for high-quality solar cables in the market. Additionally, smart city development and the integration of renewable energy with policies and initiatives at the government level are increasing the deployment of solar projects within cities, which further drives the India solar cable market growth. Moreover, programs such as India’s Smart Cities Mission emphasize the use of solar energy to power public infrastructure, creating a robust market for solar cables.

For instance, in June 2024, according to India Energy Storage Week (IESW), India geared up for a major investment influx in the energy storage and advanced battery sector, with over USD 268 million expected to be channelled into various projects that drive the growth of the advanced storage system market.  

DC Cable Dominates the India Solar Cable Market Share

DC cable has a high adoption rate during the forecast period, making it the leading segment in the market. The country has resulted in a rapid growth in solar installations, such as large-scale solar farms, rooftop systems, and off-grid projects, which are fueling the demand for solar cables in the market. DC cables are required to link solar panels to inverters, where the direct current (DC) produced by the panels is converted. In addition, the increase in decentralized solar projects, especially in remote and rural locations, further increases the demand for efficient and long-lasting DC cables in the market. Furthermore, government incentives such as subsidization of rooftop solar installations and large solar installation farms fuel demand for solar cables in the market.

West and Central Region Dominates the India Solar Cables Market Size

West and Central are the largest regions in the solar cables market. High solar irradiance and large solar installations are expected for the region’s dominant position during the forecast period. The region has many states that are investing in solar farms due to geography and climate conditions. The solar cables are used in utility-scale solar projects, which assist in enhancing the efficiency of solar plants and transmitting more energy. The region has several large-scale solar farms where cables are being used to increase efficiency as well as to achieve the target of energy generation. Also, with increasing interest in lowering the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and increasing project profitability, solar cables have become viable options for the distribution and storage of solar energy.

For instance, in June 2024, India’s cumulative installed rooftop solar capacity reached 11.6 GW. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Kerala, and Karnataka maintained top installed capacity, many of which are from West and Central India. The residential sector has become the primary driver of new rooftop solar additions, which contributes to a rise in the demand for solar cables in the market.
