The global modular inverter market was valued at $16.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $33.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8% from 2022 to 2031.
The modular inverter has a modular concept, that is, it provides pure sine wave alternate current (AC). A sine wave is generated by rotating AC machinery and sine waves are a natural product of rotating AC machinery. It has many advantages among which the major advantage is that all the equipment on the market is designed for a sine wave. All the electric products that exist are sine wave compatible. Some appliances, such as motors and microwave ovens will only produce full output with sine wave power. A few appliances, such as bread makers, light dimmers, and some battery chargers require a sine wave to work at all. Sine wave inverters are always more expensive - from 2 to 3 times as much. When combined with a direct current (DC) power system, it acts as an excellent AC backup solution.
The modular inverter is made from different components that are assembled to make up a working system. These components have their own independent work to be done. Any failure in a single component halts the ongoing process, however, it can be fixed easily and quickly with a low repair cost. This is because only the damaged component is to be repaired or replaced without affecting any other components’ function. This acts as a driving factor for the modular inverter market growth. However, pure sine wave technology incurs high costs, and thus modular inverters are at the higher end of the price range. This discourages market growth and acts as a restraining factor for the overall modular inverter industry.
With rising demand for technologically advanced inverters, there is competition among modular inverter industry players. To offer differentiated products that stand out and attract the attention of their customers, continuous research and development activities are carried out by the manufacturers. Since there is a substantial number of inverters present in the market, offering differentiated products is a significant factor to sustain the competition. Thus, the players operating in the modular inverter market are investing in product development activities, which acts as a driving factor for the industry’s growth.
Modular inverters are easy to maintain and have a lower cost for the same. They are made from different components that are assembled to form a working inverter. These components are independent in their functions and can be easily fixed or removed as per the requirement. Any damage to a single component of the inverter can be replaced without disturbing the functions of other components of the inverter. The damaged component is replaced and fixed back into the system and thus the inverter resumes working. This offers a huge advantage to the customer as the need to replace the whole inverter is dismissed which means a lower cost for managing the damage which in turn encourages the demand for the modular inverter. Thus, the demand for the product rises which further drives the modular inverter market growth.
Since there are many players operating in the industry, the product's availability is easy. The supply side of the product is easily able to meet the demand. A customer has many options available to choose from owing to the wide variety of products in the market. Moreover, the price is also flexible as options fit all budgets. This means that the market is flooded with alternatives and competitor products, which acts as a restraining factor for the market growth. Solar modular inverters are located between solar modules and the power connectivity grid. These modular inverters can convert direct current from solar cells into grid-compatible alternating current.
Apart from this, they are also capable of monitoring & controlling the entire photovoltaic system, recording all operating data, automatically disconnecting from the grid if required, interrupting the grid supply, and protecting the network against overloading. Such benefits of solar modular inverters propel the growth of modular inverters. Since the solar sector is itself experiencing a boom in controlling carbon emissions, the solar modular inverter demand offers a great opportunity for industry growth.
