Solar Inverter Global Market Report 2026

A solar inverter is a device designed to convert the energy generated by solar panels into usable electricity for residential or commercial use. It plays a crucial role in the solar power system by transforming the variable direct current (DC) power produced by solar panels into alternating 120V/240V current (AC) that can be utilized to power homes or offices.

The primary types of solar inverters are central inverters, micro-inverters, and string inverters. Central solar inverters are suitable for systems requiring large capacities, often in the hundreds of kilowatts or even megawatts. These inverters, resembling significant metal cabinets, are not intended for domestic use but are commonly employed in commercial applications for large-scale installations or utility-scale solar farms. Solar inverter systems are categorized as on-grid and off-grid based on their connection to the power grid.Solar inverters find applications in various end-uses, including residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations.

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 have influenced the solar inverter market by raising the cost of imported power electronics, semiconductors, transformers, and enclosure materials sourced mainly from Asia-Pacific. Residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar projects in North America and Europe face higher system installation costs and elongated procurement cycles. However, tariffs are accelerating domestic inverter manufacturing, promoting regional sourcing strategies, and encouraging innovation in high-efficiency and grid-stabilizing inverter technologies, which strengthens long-term energy independence.

The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of rooftop solar systems, reliance on basic string inverters, early deployment of off-grid solar solutions, growth in utility-scale solar farms, expansion of government-led solar programs.

The solar inverter market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for smart hybrid inverters, growing integration with energy storage systems, development of real-time monitoring platforms, expansion of distributed solar generation, increasing installation of high-efficiency micro inverters. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of sustainable solar power conversion, development of high-efficiency inverter manufacturing, advancement of cloud-enabled solar monitoring, growth of IoT-integrated solar inverter platforms, adoption of electrification-driven distributed energy systems.

The rapid development of the renewable energy sector is significantly driving the growth of the solar inverter market. The accelerating expansion of solar power in recent years has strengthened global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Solar inverters play a crucial role in enabling this renewable energy transition. For example, in March 2025, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a UAE-based intergovernmental organization, renewable power capacity saw a massive increase in 2024, reaching 4,448 gigawatts (GW). The addition of 585 GW represented 92.5% of total capacity expansion and marked a record annual growth rate of 15.1%. Therefore, the rapid development of the renewable energy sector is expected to boost the growth of the solar inverter market.

Leading companies in the solar inverter market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as three-phase 330kW inverters to better meet customer needs and expand application capabilities. A three-phase 330kW inverter converts direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into three-phase alternating current (AC) suitable for integration with the main electrical grid. For instance, in September 2023, SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., an Israel-based solar inverter manufacturer, introduced a high-power three-phase SolarEdge 330kW inverter along with the H1300 Power Optimizer. These products are designed for community solar, agri-PV, and small-to-medium ground-mount utility PV applications. The 330kW inverter supports both dispersed and centralized topologies, enabling large-scale installations to place the inverter centrally while benefiting from Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE), such as increased energy output, design flexibility, advanced safety features, and detailed module-level monitoring.

In October 2023, Hitachi Energy Ltd., a Switzerland-based provider of sustainable energy solutions for utility, industrial, infrastructure, and building sectors, acquired eks Energy for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Hitachi Energy's position in the renewable energy and energy storage markets by integrating eks Energy's power electronics and advanced control technologies with its own automation, software, and systems integration capabilities. eks Energy is a UK-based company specializing in power electronic devices, including solar inverters.
