This report is essential reading for you or anyone in with an interest in the fast growing net metering and self-consumption solar PV market in Europe, including investment trends overview, competitive landscape and forecasting how investment volume in this market will develop over the next ten years. This report provides a comparative analysis of existing mechanisms supporting the net metering and self-consumption of electricity in all European countries and highlights the challenges and opportunities associated to their developments. You will find also detailed explanation on how to classify net metering and self-consumption support schemes and what their characteristics are.

There are four key drivers behind the continuing net-metering and self-consumption solar PV market growth in Europe, which is expected in the next decade. First one is the drastic reduction of feed-in tariffs in many countries. Therefore feed-in tariffs started to lose their power as driver of renewable energy growth since 2011 and this process will continue. The second one is grid parity, which is progressing and by 2027 not only sun-belt countries, but also a lot of countries with less solar irradiation will have grid parity. The third one is growth of the smart grid concept, market and services, which make it easier to integrate renewable energy systems for net-metering and self-consumption. The fourth one is growth of electric vehicles and related energy storage and charging infrastructure in Europe.
