A grid-tied inverter is a power electronics device designed to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), facilitating the injection of electricity generated from an external power source, such as a solar plant, into the power grid. Notably, grid-tied inverters operate without the need for batteries and find extensive use in systems utilizing solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants.
The primary types of grid-tied inverters are low-frequency inverters and high-frequency inverters. A low-frequency inverter is a device designed to convert direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity at a relatively low frequency, usually under 5 kHz. These inverters are utilized in various applications such as DC voltage sources, grid connections, and others, with applications spanning residential, commercial, industrial, and other sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on inverter components such as semiconductors, transformers, and power electronic modules have raised production costs and slowed deployments across residential, commercial, and utility scale solar segments, particularly in regions dependent on imports from Asia Pacific. These tariffs have contributed to project delays and higher installation costs, but they also encourage local manufacturing, promote regional supply chain development, and stimulate innovation in cost optimized, grid stable inverter technologies.

This grid- tied inverters market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The grid- tied inverters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.01 billion in 2025 to $6.41 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption of grid connected solar plants, growth in distributed renewable generation, rising need for stable ac power output, government incentives for solar installations, expansion of inverter manufacturing capabilities.
The grid- tied inverters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for smart grid infrastructure, rising installation of rooftop pv systems, advancements in inverter semiconductor technologies, growth in industrial and commercial solar projects, increasing shift toward decarbonized energy systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of transformerless high frequency inverters, growing integration of smart grid compatible inverter solutions, rising adoption of advanced mppt technologies, expansion of utility scale solar grid tie installations, growing shift toward high efficiency low loss inverter designs.
An increase in the number of solar power system installations is expected to drive the growth of the grid-tied inverter market going forward. A solar power system refers to a device that captures solar radiation and converts it into usable electrical or thermal energy. Solar panels are connected to a grid-tied inverter (GTI), which converts the direct current (DC) they generate into alternating current (AC). For example, in July 2023, according to a report published by the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, solar photovoltaic (PV) generation saw a significant increase of 270 terawatt-hours (26%), reaching nearly 1,300 terawatt-hours in 2022. Projections indicate that the installed solar PV power capacity is on track to surpass coal by 2027, becoming the world's largest power capacity source. Therefore, the increase in solar power system installations is driving the growth of the grid-tied inverter market.
Key players in the grid-tied inverter market are actively innovating and introducing solutions such as grid-tied residential energy storage to enhance their market positions. The integration of grid-tied residential energy storage solutions contributes to market growth by driving demand, fostering technological advancements, and ensuring seamless integration with diverse grid environments. In September 2023, Canadian Solar Inc., a Canada-based renewable energy company, unveiled the EP Cube Lite, a cost-effective residential energy storage solution showcased at RE+ in Las Vegas. This scaled-down version of the EP Cube enhances financial benefits for U.S. households embracing integrated solar and battery storage. With scalable capacities ranging from 6.6 kWh to 19.9 kWh, the system supports compatibility with existing PV systems, allowing for customization. Featuring an integrated hybrid inverter and stackable storage modules, the lightweight components facilitate swift installation, promoting accessibility to energy storage and sustainable practices.
In October 2023, Hitachi Energy, a Switzerland-based power technologies company, completed the acquisition of Eks Energy for $1.2 billion. This strategic move is expected to fortify Hitachi Energy's position in the smart grid and smart city market, while expanding its capabilities in the industrial IoT segment. The acquisition enables Hitachi Energy to offer a more comprehensive suite of products and services, including advanced grid support, energy storage, and distributed energy resources management. Eks Energy, a UK-based provider of advanced power electronics and energy management services, played a crucial role in enhancing Hitachi Energy's portfolio and capabilities in emerging segments.
