A solar hybrid inverter, also called as a multi-mode inverter, is an inverter that can simultaneously manage inputs from solar panels, wind turbines, generators, and a battery bank. The major purpose of the solar hybrid inverter is to convert direct current power generated from the array into the usable alternating current. Solar hybrid inverters can work with batteries to store excess power as well. They store power in batteries and subsequently draw upon the needed requirement of energy stabilization. In residential, commercial, and industrial areas, solar hybrid inverters are widely used for energy back-up during emergencies.

Scope of the report

COVID-19 impact analysis

• The suspension in various activities for commercial areas leads to less usage of electricity, thus declining the demand for solar hybrid inverter.
• In addition, insufficiency in raw material supply hampers the production rate of solar hybrid inverters, thus affecting the market growth. 
• However, residential and building sectors are expected to witness more demand for power, as large percentage of population is residing in their houses due to social distancing norms and extended lockdown. This can improve the market growth for solar hybrid gradually.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis

The expansion of industrial, commercial, and utility-scale sectors is the major driver of the solar inverter market. Solar hybrid inverters can usually be installed without batteries for future expansion; this is the biggest advantage, which boosts their demand, globally. In addition, these inverters are safe, environment-friendly, and support sustainable development plans implemented by the government for residential and commercial areas. However, the major restraint of solar hybrid inverter market is that they have less design flexibility than a modular solution in which separate battery inverters have been used. Moreover, solar hybrid inverters are considered less efficient than solar-only or battery-only inverters, which is anticipated to hamper the growth of the solar hybrid invertors market during the forecast period.

The global solar hybrid inverter trends are as follows:
