Middle East Rooftop Solar PV Module Market Size

The rooftop solar PV market was estimated at USD 943.8 million in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 996.3 million in 2026 to USD 1,495.2 Million in 2035, at a CAGR of 4.6%, according to a recent study by Global Market Insights Inc.

This represents a technology that is applied to capture the sun's energy and transform it to electricity in rooftops of residential buildings, commercial buildings and industrial buildings. A rooftop solar photovoltaic module is a set of solar cells that make up a solar panel that is deployed on rooftops to absorb energy from sunlight and generate electricity.

Continuous decline in the cost of solar panels and associated components along with various companies making efforts to increase the capacity of solar installations will stimulate the business statistics. For instance, in June 2025, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced that under the Shams Dubai programme, the emirate’s cumulative rooftop solar photovoltaic capacity exceeded 725 MW across more than 8,430 buildings. Furthermore, booming construction sector across various economies coupled with rising environment concerns to restrict the carbon emissions will propel the business growth.

Middle East Rooftop Solar PV Module Market Trends

Rising urbanization and household incomes combined with favorable government investments toward sustainable infrastructure development will positively influence the business landscape. For instance, in 2025, Jordan continued expanding its distributed solar sector, with the country surpassing approximately 1.8 GW of cumulative distributed and commercial solar PV capacity operating under net metering and wheeling schemes, supported by strong industrial and commercial self-consumption demand and long-term renewable energy policies. Moreover, rising inclination of industry players to enhance their presence and introduce solutions delivering reduced energy usage will augment the business demand.

Middle East Rooftop Solar PV Module Market Analysis

On-grid rooftop solar PV module market witnessed share of over 98.5% in 2025.

• The system offering clean and renewable energy source aligned with sustainability goals and contributing to efforts to mitigate climate change will complement the business growth. Grid integration solutions, such as smart inverters and grid-tied systems, enable efficient and reliable operation while ensuring compatibility with utility grids, will proliferate the product penetration.
• The adoption of off-grid solar PV modules in the Middle East has been steadily increasing and will grow more than CAGR 9.5% by 2035 on account of increasing demand for dependable power sources at isolated and inaccessible remote areas (deserts, remote areas etc.) where grid extension is either impossible or cost-ineffective. Solar PV modules are utilized extensively at the telecom tower sites, at oil and gas field operations, mining sites, solar pumping for agriculture, at military installations, residential applications and others

• Ongoing research and development efforts combined with favorable government incentives, such as tax credits and net metering policies will fuel the product adoption. Enabling grid independence while enhancing energy resilience in conjunction with ability to offer viable solution for utilizing available rooftop space in densely populated urban areas will further foster the business dynamics.
• Polycrystalline modules are widely adopted across the region owing to their lower upfront cost and suitability for early-stage rooftop solar markets, particularly in countries including Jordan, the UAE, and parts of Saudi Arabia during the initial phase of distributed solar development.

The crystalline silicon rooftop solar PV module is projected to grow over USD 1,300 million by 2035 owing to innovations in cell design, material quality, and manufacturing processes resulting in increased efficiency and reduced production costs.

• Increasing affordability for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers and growing investments by homeowners in solar energy systems to reduce electricity bills will drive the business scenario. Additionally, increasing energy independence, along with contribution to environmental sustainability will enhance the industry outlook.

Turkey rooftop solar PV module market is projected to grow over USD 820 million by 2035.

• Capability to decentralize power generation and reduce dependence on centralized power plants along with introduction of various solar projects across the country will foster the market growth. Furthermore, efforts at deregulation, market changes, and the adoption of third party ownership arrangements will increase consumer choice and access to solar technologies, thereby swaying the industry dynamics.
• UAE rooftop solar PV module is driven by strong government-led clean energy initiatives including the UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and large-scale programs like Dubai’s Shams Dubai initiative. It is characterized by high penetration of advanced monocrystalline technologies such as TOPCon and bifacial modules, supported by favorable net-metering policies in Dubai and growing ESG commitments from corporates, leading to market growth.
• Jordan is one of the most mature rooftop solar markets in the Middle East and will grow over CAGR 3.5% by 2035 supported by strong net-metering regulations introduced by the government and high electricity tariffs that make self-consumption highly attractive. The growth is further propelled by households and SMEs trying to save on electricity bills and industrial consumers who are installing captive solar plants, thereby enhancing the business opportunity.
