Inverter market development forecast

    The global PV inverter market grew 14.8% in 2009 to reach $2.9 billion, of which shipments reached 8.3GW. The report points out that all but one of the countries surveyed predict that the inverter market will jump by nearly 70% in 2010, and that three-phase inverters will see the fastest growth in the next five years, with shipments expected to exceed 150,000 kilowatts by 2014.

    It is predicted that due to the recent changes in German regulatory policy, especially the recent revision of the network access subsidy policy, three-phase inverters (10-35kW) will also see high growth. It is predicted that there will be many small-scale rooftop solar Power applications this year, so Microinverters and DC-DC Power optimisers will have an increasing market share.SMA retained its position as the world''s largest supplier of PV inverters, increasing its market share by more than 37% in 2009. However, the report pointed out that because many inverter manufacturers are facing the problem of reaching the production capacity limit, the top manufacturer ranking may be reshuffled this year.Due to the busy installation of solar power generation systems in Germany, there is a significant shortage of grid connected inverters. As the impact of the global financial crisis gradually fades, people''s interest in solar power has rebounded, and the tax refunds and issues provided by the government for electronic component and semiconductor manufacturers are also increasingly affecting the development of the solar energy industry.
