This year’s PV mounting market is basically propelled by policies! The EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1735) dropped in May, handing local manufacturers a huge gift: 40% of mounting systems must be locally produced by 2030 . Spain even splashed €11.5 billion in subsidies, favoring agri-PV projects using homegrown mounting solutions. France is more straightforward—want subsidies for large ground-mount projects? 30% of key components like mountings must have "local household registration"!
Across the pond, the U.S. didn’t sit idle. The IRA Act extended 30% tax credits—solar projects using domestic components save big, sending regional mounting suppliers’ orders soaring . Believe it or not, 62% of global mounting orders this year were "pushed" by policies!
Don’t think mountings are just "frames holding panels"—they’ve become total tech geeks! Dual-axis tracking systems (tracking both azimuth and elevation angles) chase the sun, boosting power output by a whopping 30% vs. fixed-tilt models—total "power generation ceiling" . At Intersolar Europe this year, Antaisolar unveiled its Tai-Space tracking system with IoT sensors for real-time monitoring, nabbing a 120MW deal with France’s Sun Liberty on the spot. Impressive, right?
Materials are getting creative too. 28% of European mountings now use recycled aluminum—nearly doubling 2023’s 15%—all thanks to the EU’s "ecological design certification" forcing green upgrades. Someone even tried bamboo: bamboo-based brackets cut carbon footprint by 40% vs. steel, winning fans in low-load scenarios. That’s some out-of-the-box thinking!
The global mounting market hit 15 billion this year, projected to reach 25 billion by 2030—but regional vibes differ wildly. Asia-Pacific holds 45% to stay top, while Europe is catching up fast: over 40 local manufacturers now cover 100GW demand, growth visible to the naked eye .
Even more interesting: agri-PV and solar carports jumped from 12% of demand last year to 22% this year. Northern Europeans love east-west vertical mountings to catch morning/evening sun, while U.S. Southwest mega-plants swear by single-axis trackers. "Adapting to local conditions" is key!
After 2025, let’s spill 2026’s "script". Tracking systems will get hotter—projected shipments hit 135GW. Chinese firms are gearing up: Arctech’s Jeddah plant in Saudi Arabia (Phase II just completed) will ramp up production in Q1 2026, with 15GW annual capacity, plus an 8GW India order pending . Policy-wise, China’s "Steady Growth Action Plan" cracks down on cutthroat pricing—quality and tech matter more, so small "low-price slackers" might get eliminated.
Challenges remain: aluminum prices swung 18% this year, and EU carbon tariffs added 5% to non-EU mounting costs. But analysts are upbeat—clear policies and tech upgrades mean these "small storms" won’t stop growth. 2026’s mounting circle will be even livelier—stay tuned!
