Pico solar and solar home systems will reach 64 million in annual sales by 2024, says Navigant

In recent years several new markets have opened up for solar photovoltaic (PV) consumer products, particularly for lighting, handset charging, and power for small DC appliances. Known as pico solar, solar home systems, or solar PV generators, these products are gaining traction in many segments, including outdoor recreation, emergency equipment, and lighting for off-grid homes and communities. According to a new report from Navigant Research, worldwide unit sales of pico solar and solar home systems will grow from 8.2 million annually in 2014 to 64.3 million in 2024.
