The global PV inverter market size was estimated at USD 13.09 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% from 2024 to 2030.
The growing awareness regarding environmental issues and need to reduce carbon emissions is driving demand for clean energy solutions, which in turn is expected to drive demand for various energy equipment including PV inverters. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), power generation from solar photovoltaic (PV) increased by 270 TWh in 2022, up by 26% in 2021. Solar PV accounted for approximately 4.5% of total global electricity generation in 2022.
Solar PV inverters are an integral part of larger solar systems. These inverters convert direct current (DC) electricity to alternate current (AC) and hence determine efficiency of whole solar system. Solar PV inverters are available with distinct characteristics and features and consider different factors affecting solar system production. Some critical factors include shading, roof orientation, roof inclination, summer vs winter production, tilting panels, and many other factors that result in required output.

The government has implemented various new incentive schemes to promote the adoption of solar and other renewable technologies. For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. government launched the Inflation Reduction Act, which allotted USD 369 billion for promotion of renewable energy sector. Many companies have started to construct new solar PV plants and are increasing capacities of their existing plants. For instance, in February 2023, Silicon Ranch announced that it would increase energy generation capacity of its solar power plant. First Solar will supply 1.5 GW of advanced American thin-film solar modules, in addition to its prior agreements, which include installation of a total of 4 GW of solar PV panels by 2027.
Renewable power generation has been witnessing unprecedented growth globally over the past decade. It has continuously surpassed end-users’ expectations with new records being set annually, along with an increased number of companies committing to their respective energy transitions. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2022, the solar PV energy generated was approximately 1,300 terawatt-hours in the U.S., witnessing an increase of 26% from 2021.
The constant economic growth in nations such as the U.S., China, and India as well as developments in supply chain and favorable government policies supporting PV inverter production in the U.S. and India are driving demand for solar PV inverters. In addition, changing consumer preferences for a sustainable environment and ambitious targets for adoption of PV inverters by governments of countries, coupled with adequate plans and policies related to PV inverters, have led to advancements in renewable energy generation.
The renewable industry has tremendously been competitive against other sources of electricity. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has proposed that these energy resources are anticipated to grow by a full order of magnitude over next 30 years. Two significant reasons supporting this statement include the declining price of solar components that will allow more solar and wind power to be built and economic factors concerning solar power for next few decades.
