Solar Microinverter and Power Optimizer Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2024
Microinverters
and power optimizers, collectively called module-level power
electronics (MLPEs), are currently one of the fastest growing market
segments in the global solar power generation market. Although
centralized or string inverters are still by far the most preferred
and deployed choice of technology for rooftop solar panel systems
worldwide, the promise of optimal performance and comparatively more
power output (an estimated 25% more than conventional PV systems),
especially when the PV systems are installed in unevenly shaded or
complex regions (e.g. having two or more orientations), are
increasing the popularity of MLPEs on a global front. Interestingly,
over half of all the residential rooftop solar PV installations in
the U.S. had some form of MPLE in 2014.

Report Overview @
Solar
microinverters and power optimizers offer similar benefits to solar
PV systems but operate in different ways. Both systems are mounted
inside solar panels and allow the PV cells to perform optimally when
one or more panels in the PV system are shaded. The primary
difference between the two is that microinverters directly convert
the DC current produced by the solar panels into the AC current that
can be utilized by household appliances, while power optimizers are
used to tune the performance of the solar panel through maximum power
point tracking (MPPT), which essentially is a way to condition the DC
current generated by the PV cells before sending it to a central
inverter.
Global
Solar Microinverter and Power Optimizer Market: Key Trends and
Opportunities
The
substantial reduction in costs of microinverters and power optimizers
and the continuous research and development efforts of manufacturers
aimed at refining the technologies, are some of the key factors that
will help the already flourishing market gain momentum over the
report’s forecast period.
Meanwhile,
the regulatory scenario pertaining to the safety of solar panel
systems is shaping in a way that could change consumer’s perception
of microinverters and power optimizers. The National Electric Code
(NEC), the preeminent electrical installation code in the United
States, has made it mandatory for solar panel arrays to have a rapid
shutdown feature, with a switch to the feature near the solar PV
setup, in its 2014 version.
Some
analysts speculate that the Code will eventually make it mandatory
for solar systems to include functionality of shutting off individual
panels remotely with the help of a central switch. Some of the
largest players in the microinverters and power optimizer industry
have already started to monetize this opportunity by incorporating
rapid shutdown features in their new product lines.
As
the regulatory framework in other regional markets becomes more wary
of the level of safety of solar power systems, similar regulations
are projected to be instituted and proactive vendors will benefit
from this changing regulatory environment.
Apart
from these two opportunities, vendors can also benefit from the
rising affordability of energy storage devices for solar power
systems. Home batteries running on solar power have the potential of
becoming the face of mainstream energy storage systems of the near
future.
Global
Solar Microinverter and Power Optimizer Market: Region-wise Outlook
Of
the key regional markets for solar microinverters and power
optimizers examined in the report, North America leads the global
market, with a dominant share attributed to residential solar PV
installations. However, the market may soon witness expansion in
other regional markets such as Asia Pacific, as the dropping costs of
microinverters and power optimizers seek to lure cost-sensitive
regions with untapped growth opportunities.

Global
Solar Microinverter and Power Optimizer Market: Competitive Outlook
The
market is presently dominated by companies such as SolarEdge and
Enphase. However, the market’s competitive landscape is rapidly
changing, with a rising number of solar PV manufacturers now
developing products readily incorporated with microinverters and
power optimizers. The market has also begun to see a favorable rise
in investments from capital ventures and the entry of well-funded
startups. This is rapidly changing the competitive landscape of the
global solar microinverters and power optimizers market.
