Off Grid Solar Market Trends Report 2024

In 2022, the number of people lacking access increased for the first time in 20 years, to 685 million people. Released every two years, this 7th edition in the series covers 2022 and 2023, a period during which the market has shown remarkable resilience despite facing numerous global challenges.

The latest Off-Grid Solar Market Trends Report (MTR) 2024, warns that a 6-fold increase over current investment levels – or $21 billion – is required to realize off-grid solar’s potential to contribute to universal energy access, or this opportunity will be missed. Under the current trajectory, 660 million people are projected to still be without electricity by 2030.

The 2024 Off Grid Solar Market Trends report is published by GOGLA and the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).

Powering Opportunity

Supported by UKAID, the Powering Opportunities Series was a flagship research programme held between 2018-2020 to better understand the socio-economic impacts of solar home systems. The research heard from over 3,500 customers and confirmed that people with solar home systems gain more income while feeling safer and healthier.

The reports explore a compilation of the insights uncovered, as well as specific insights from different geographic regions: East Africa, West Africa and South Asia.
