[193 Pages Report] The Solar PV Inverters Market size was estimated at USD 9.11 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 9.94 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.36% to reach USD 18.17 billion by 2030.
A solar photovoltaic (PV) Inverter is a critical component in a solar energy system utilized to transform the variable direct current (DC) output of the solar panels into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be provided into a commercial or local electrical grid network. This conversion process is essential because most household appliances and the broader electrical grid operate on AC electricity, whereas solar panels generate DC electricity. Solar PV inverters also perform several other pivotal roles in the solar energy system, including optimizing the power output from the solar panels, system diagnostics, and providing grid management functionalities. Growing awareness about sustainable and clean energy sources among consumers and corporations, coupled with subsidies, rebates, and policies supporting solar energy adoption, significantly boost the solar PV inverter market. However, integrating solar PV systems with existing electrical grids can pose technical challenges, requiring advanced inverter solutions and impeding market growth. Nevertheless, the advent of smart inverters that can communicate with the grid to provide advanced energy management features with continuous improvement in inverter technology, including efficiency and reliability, is expected to create opportunities for the growth of the solar PV inverters market.
Product: Burgeoning adoption of central inverters for utility-scale projects due to their high capacity and efficiency
Central inverters are large, powerful inverters typically used in industrial-scale solar power installations. They are known for their high capacity, ranging from hundreds of kW to MW. These inverters consolidate the DC output from multiple solar arrays, converting it into AC power at a central point. Central inverters are preferred in large solar projects due to their efficiency in handling high power volumes and reducing installation costs for large-scale operations. Micro inverters are installed on individual solar panels, convert the DC generated by each panel into AC, and optimize the output of each panel individually, combating the losses typically associated with panel shading or malfunction. They suit residential installations or small-scale commercial projects where shading issues are common and system scalability is desired. String inverters are well-suited for medium-scale solar installations and connect a string of solar panels to a single inverter, converting the combined DC output to AC. This setup is more efficient than micro inverters for installations without significant shading issues. String inverters are ideal for commercial and residential installations that don’t require individual panel-level optimization and can benefit from a balance of cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
End-user: Evolving utilization of Solar PV Inverters in commercial and industrial end-user sector
The commercial and industrial (C&I) sector includes businesses and industries installing solar PV systems to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. C&I users often require high-capacity inverters that can handle significant power loads, offer advanced grid support functionalities, and integrate with existing energy management systems. They prefer reliable inverters that come with comprehensive warranties and service agreements. Residential users install solar PV systems to reduce household energy costs and contribute to environmental sustainability. They require smaller, easy-to-install inverters compatible with home aesthetics and electrical systems. The focus for residential inverters is on ease of use, safety features, and compatibility with home energy management systems. Utility-scale users, such as power companies and large-scale energy project developers, install massive solar PV farms to generate electricity on a large scale. They require inverters that can handle high power outputs, offer excellent grid stability and support features, and can be easily integrated with existing power systems. Utility-scale inverters must be highly reliable and capable of continuous operation under various environmental conditions.
