Covid 19 Impact: The COVID-19 has brought about changes with regards to individuals going out, holding of regular social meetings among other things.

Pandemic impacts the supply chain and as result slows down the solar inverter market Some reasons why such a view may be considered COVID-19 as a global pandemic Limited market expansion due to disrupted supply chains. The coronavirus pandemic is and was global, and the market has faced significantly low demand in all regions as compared to pre-covid times. This has been occasioned by the upward fluctuation of CAGR, which shows that the market has grown and became demanding again as it was before the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic averts detrimentally regarded the solar inverter market across the world by Settling down the chains of supply of solar inverter and holds back the development of solar projects. Due to lockdowns and limitations on industrial activities, PV solar inverter production and shipment volumes were dramatically reduced in the short term. Yet the market showed a recovery in 2021 with the start of the recovery of the global economy, backed up by the renewed interest and more investment in clean energies and specifically, in solar power plants. Pandemic also brought focus on renewable energy, and consequently solar inverters; various governments and organizations set higher priority for green energy as part of their recovery agenda.

SOLAR INVERTER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

• Central Solar Inverter: These are the large types of inverters mostly suitable for use in utility scale photovoltaic power generation systems. They are built to accommodate a large power capability, and are well suited for utility-scale solar power plants where the DO main power generated by several solar panels needs to be converted from DC to AC.

• String Solar Inverter: Employed in residential and commercial settings, these inverters are responsible for the manipulating the conversion of Direct Current for Alternating Current for strings of solar panels. They are flexible and their installation and maintenance costs are much lower than in central inverters.

• Micro Solar Inverter: These inverters are mounted on each of the solar panels in order to provide the best results with each of the panels. These are suitable for home usage where shading, or perhaps partial sunlight may affect some of the panels in a particular way.

By Application

• Residential: Solar inverters in residential applications are used where there is installation of solar PV system in homes to change DC power produced by the solar panels on the rooftops of homes to AC power for domestic use. This segment is expected to grow at a faster pace as people are getting aware of the solar energy for residential use and government offering subsidies to use solar for residential purpose.

• Commercial: In commercial solar system, solar inverters are used in business premises and industries to control complex solar systems. These inverters act as effective power converters and as interface with the existing electrical network saving energy costs and cutting down carbon footprints in various businesses.

• Utility: Utility power inverters are meant for the solar power stations that feed electricity straight into the utility companies. These inverters can manage high voltage levels and are vital in the functionality of big solar power stations.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Entry of new companies and hike in incentives benefit solar inverter market"

The market for solar inverters is affected by the government policies. In the states governments are providing incentives in the form of tax credits subsidies and grant to encourage the solar energy product or system. Because of such incentives, the cost of installing solar has been considerably lowered making it possible for residential or commercial users to embrace it. Due to the availability of financial support the solar inverter is being demands from across the globe and thus leads to the growth in the market of solar inverter. Further, favourable government policies that encourage the usage of fewer carbons and more renewable energy sources have also gone a long way in enhancing the demand for solar inverters.

"Solar inverter demand is stimulated by increasing consciousness about the environment and enhance energy"

The worry on environmental defence, particularly in harnessing the use of renewable energy and over-emphasis on energy saving has created the need for solar inverters. For this reason, individuals and businesses are searching for cleaner and renewable sources of energy to power the gadgets, and businesses in an effort to reduce the emission levels and the energy costs too. There are various advantages of using solar inverters, which include high efficiency and high reliability which are typical of current versions of the inverters. They also need green energy solutions which has driven them to adopt solar inverters more and more and therefore solar inverter market have an upward trend.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Cost Prevents Large Number of Consumers"

Another factor of consideration in the market of solar inverters is the factor of cost and it has been seen that the initial costs of acquisition can be very high and this acts as a discouraging factor for a number of consumers to include the solar inverters in their systems. These keep the initial costs extremely high, especially for those consumers in areas that have low access to credit facilities. This financial restriction slows the development of the solar inverter market, especially in the developing countries where price consciousness is higher.
