Growing Utility and Residential Solar Installations

Residential solar solutions can provide free, uninterrupted electricity for years while contributing to a greener environment. Residential solar rooftop systems are easy to install and require minimal maintenance. The electricity produced in excess can be sold to the grid through a net-metering facility, which helps reduce electricity bills. With depleting fossil fuel reserves, accelerated environmental degradation, and pressure on the power generation infrastructure, several governments have taken various steps in the form of subsidies to accelerate the adoption of solar energy by providing residential solar solutions.

Various vendors have shown growth in the shipment of US solar inverter market growth related products and services in the country. For instance, in January 2021, Sungrow Power Supply Co Ltd, a leading US solar inverter market player, announced that it had crossed 10 gigawatts (GW) of cumulative inverter shipments in the Americas. The shipment includes various countries in America, such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and the US. Additionally, in 2020, Sungrow deployed 5 GW solar PV inverters in North America alone. Sungrow Power Supply Co Ltd's success in the Americas is a testament to the growing demand for solar power in the region as more and more people and businesses switch to solar inverters.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on product type, the US solar inverter market is segmented into string, micro, and central. The central segment held the largest share of the market in 2022, and the central US solar inverter market product segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Central inverters convert the direct current (DC) collected from an array of solar modules into alternating current (AC) for connection to the grid. Contrary to string inverters, which are often installed on a wall or other vertical structure, central inverters are typically floor or ground mounted. Central inverters have power outputs ranging from 50 kW (kilowatt) to more than 1 MW (megawatt) and are used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The main advantages of central inverters include credibility due to their high market presence, lower costs, and capability to generate higher output voltages, as well as reliability as these are placed in protective environments. These factors influence the use of central US solar inverter market player, thereby offering lucrative opportunities to the players in the US solar inverter market growth. For instance, SUNGROW announced the launch of its new central inverter with a power of 8.8 MW for solar energy storage in 2022.

Access Data

Country Analysis:

Utility-scale solar projects in the US are getting bigger and growing in number. In April 2020, BayWa r.e., a globally operating developer of renewables, secured a tax equity investment and construction term financing for its Fern Solar project with 134 MW installed capacity in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, with RBC Capital Markets syndicating the tax equity investment. The project will provide solar power to six US-based brands—Bloomberg, Cox Enterprises, Gap Inc, Salesforce, Workday, and Starbucks. Fern Solar Project is likely to provide solar power to the first five brands through a market-first, multiparty virtual PPA (VPPA) with the Corporate Renewable Energy Aggregation Group. Further, the US invested in 20.2 GW of solar PV capacity projects in 2022, which mounted the total capacity of the country to 142.3 GW. This solar capacity is enough for generating electricity for 25 million American homes. Thus, the rising number of solar power projects is boosting the US solar inverter market growth in the country.
