데이터센터용 현장 태양광발전 시장 예측(-2030년) : 구성요소별, 데이터센터 유형별, 도입 형태별, 기술별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global On-Site Photovoltaic Solar Power for Data Centers Market is accounted for $24.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $52.3 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. On-site photovoltaic (PV) solar power for data centers refers to the use of solar energy systems installed directly at data center facilities to generate electricity. These systems consist of solar panels, inverters, and battery storage solutions that convert sunlight into usable power, reducing reliance on grid electricity and fossil fuels. On-site solar helps data centers achieve energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and meet sustainability goals by cutting carbon emissions.

According to Cloudscene, as of 2022, the United States was the largest data centre market in the world, housing nearly 5375 data centres.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising Energy Demand from Data Centers

The rising energy demand from data centers is driving the on-site photovoltaic (PV) solar power industry by raising the demand for cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions. Data centers must deal with rising electricity demand as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital services grow. On-site solar energy provides a dependable, renewable substitute that lowers operating expenses and grid reliance. Data centers are also compelled to use solar energy due to environmental pledges and carbon reduction goals, which accelerates the market's expansion and uptake globally.

Restraint:

High Initial Investment

The expensive initial investment in on-site photovoltaic solar electricity for data centers is a key impediment to market expansion. Adoption is hampered by the high cost of installing solar panels, energy storage devices, and grid integration, particularly for smaller data centers. Alternative energy sources become more alluring as a result of this financial burden delaying return on investment. Furthermore, extended payback periods and financial limitations prevent widespread adoption, which slows market growth.

Opportunity:

Technological Advancements

Technological advancements drive the on-site photovoltaic (PV) solar power market for data centers by improving energy efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Innovations in high-efficiency solar panels, bifacial modules, and advanced inverters enhance power generation. Breakthroughs in battery storage, such as lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, ensure 24/7 energy availability despite solar intermittency. Smart grid integration and AI-driven energy management optimize consumption, reducing operational costs. These advancements are accelerating adoption among data centers aiming for sustainability and energy independence.

Threat:

Intermittency & Energy Storage Challenges

Intermittency and energy storage challenges hinder the adoption of on-site photovoltaic solar power for data centers. Solar energy generation fluctuates due to weather conditions, leading to inconsistent power supply. Limited and costly energy storage solutions, such as batteries, make it difficult to ensure uninterrupted operations. These challenges increase reliance on backup power sources, reducing cost savings and sustainability benefits, thus slowing market growth and adoption.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the on-site photovoltaic solar power market for data centers by delaying project installations due to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and lockdowns. However, the crisis accelerated digital transformation, increasing data center energy demands. Governments prioritized renewable energy in recovery plans, driving long-term solar adoption. Post-pandemic, rising sustainability commitments and energy security concerns further boosted investments in on-site solar power for data centers.

The cooling systems segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The cooling systems segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, as data centers require efficient cooling to prevent overheating, integrating solar power helps offset electricity consumption and reduce operational costs. Advanced cooling technologies, such as liquid cooling and AI-driven optimization, enhance energy efficiency, making solar adoption more viable. Additionally, the synergy between sustainable cooling and on-site PV systems supports carbon reduction goals, increasing market growth and investment in renewable-powered data centers.

The monocrystalline segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the monocrystalline segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, because Monocrystalline panels maximize space utilization, making them ideal for data centers with limited rooftop or land availability. Their longer lifespan and better performance in low-light conditions enhance reliability, ensuring continuous power supply. Additionally, as data centers prioritize sustainability and cost savings, the declining cost of monocrystalline technology accelerates adoption, further boosting the market's growth and energy resilience.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share due to rising energy demands, sustainability initiatives, and government incentives. Tech giants and cloud service providers prioritize solar energy to reduce carbon footprints and operational costs. Federal and state policies, including tax credits and renewable energy mandates, further accelerate adoption. Additionally, advancements in solar technology and energy storage improve reliability, making on-site PV a viable solution for ensuring energy independence and grid stability in data center operations.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, because of rapid digitalization, rising energy demands, and strong support for renewable energy. Countries like China, India, and Japan are promoting solar adoption through incentives and sustainability mandates. The region's abundant solar resources, declining panel costs, and advancements in energy storage enhance feasibility. Additionally, hyperscale data centers and cloud providers are investing in on-site solar to reduce carbon footprints, ensuring long-term cost savings and energy security.
