Yes, there are rules and regulations that you must comply with for solar generation. If you connect your solar panels to the grid to sell back power, you must comply with Part 6 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010. This includes adhering to standards for the power inverter and rules around connecting to the distribution network.

At the end of 2023, global PV manufacturing capacity was between 650 and 750 GW. 30%-40% of polysilicon, cell, and module manufacturing capacity came online in 2023. In 2023, global PV production was between 400 and 500 GW. While non-Chinese manufacturing has grown, most new capacity continues to come from China.
The Japanese government is seeking to expand solar power by enacting subsidies and a feed-in tariff (FIT). In December 2008, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced a goal of 70% of new homes having solar power installed, and would be spending $145 million in the first quarter of 2009 to encourage home solar power. [8] The government enacted a feed-in tariff in
One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters. This is due to the increased manufacturing efficiency, advances in technology and economies of scale.
This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW. The solar PV market continued its steady growth despite disruptions across the solar value chain, mainly due to sharp increases in the costs of raw materials and shipping.
Senegal accounts for 5.5% share in the total installed capacity of solar PV in the African region.
