According to the IEA, in 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV capacity as the entire world did in 2022, while its wind additions also increased by 66% year-on-year. China is expected to account for almost 60% of new renewable capacity expected to become operational globally by 2028. As the world's largest energy consumer, China aims to reduce its CO2 emissions to 5150 million tons by 2035 and 2600 million tons by 2050. Additionally, the Chinese government plans to raise the share of renewable energy in its energy mix to nearly 37% by 2035 and 58% by 2050. Therefore, the country's efforts to reduce CO2 levels and increase the proportion of renewables in the energy mix are expected to create growth opportunities for the market. China witnessed a growth of 54.9 GW in newly installed PV capacity in 2021, accounting for over 30% of global PV installations in the same year. Furthermore, as of May 2022, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) announced that nearly 108 GW of new solar capacity would be connected to the grid by the end of 2022, almost double the capacity additions in 2021.
The recent approval of the National Green Hydrogen Mission by the Indian government is a significant step toward making India a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. Investments in this sector through the Foreign Venture Capital Investor (FVCI) route will also be explored. The adoption of green hydrogen has the potential to enable India to reduce CO2 emissions by 3.6 gigatonnes cumulatively between now and 2050 and decrease industrial coal imports by 95%. Thus, driving the Smart Solar market revenue.

As the energy sector increasingly shifts its focus towards renewable sources, there is a notable surge in demand for solar solutions within China. For instance, China witnessed its renewable energy capacity soar to 1,213 GW in 2022, constituting 47.3% of the nation's total generation capacity. Similarly, countries like China and India are rapidly accelerating the deployment of renewable installations, including solar and wind power, to meet their climate targets. These advancements are anticipated to drive up the demand for intelligent solar solutions in these nations. For example, data from China's National Energy Administration (NEA) indicates that the country's installed solar capacity reached 360 GW by the end of October 2022, marking a 29% year-on-year increase. During the first ten months of 2022 alone, China added 58.2 GW cumulatively, with over 5.6 GW installed in October.
