The implementation of photovoltaic systems in Colombia has enabled 2% of the population in areas that do not have access to electric energy to meet their lighting, refrigeration and leisure needs, allowing them to expand their capacities and improve their quality of life. The systems that have been installed are mainly focused on the rural sector.
Taking into account that Colombia is mostly a desert area, what was presented above confirms the deficit of photovoltaic development in the ZNIs, that underutilize the solar resource and the great territorial extension. 4. Future picture of the solar energy
The potential of solar energy at a global level in Colombia is 4.5 kW h/m 2 /day and the area with an optimal solar resource is the Península de la Guajira, with 6 kW h/m 2 /day of radiation, surpassing the world average of 3.9 kW h/m 2 /day. In the referenced link , there is an interactive map of the radiation indices in Colombia by IDEAM.
In terms of the number of households that have access to the electricity grid in Colombia, it is currently provided with 12.1 million since 2005, represented by 95.8% of the total Colombian population , identifying that of the total electricity generated around 70% of the consumption is residential .

In Tocancipá, the interurban zone has a facility with 28 solar lamps of 33 W and 16 reflectors of 22 W, with a solar potential of 12.69 kWp installed; this energy production connected to the grid is used in the Armed Forces Ancient Museum building for the lighting and electricity of the grounds.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
