String Inverter Market Outlook - 2027
The global string inverter market size was valued at $3.1 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $4.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2020 to 2027.
String inverter is an important device in the solar system, which converts DC power flowing from solar panels to the AC power in your residential applications. Apart from the conversion, solar inverters perform voltage tracking, grid connecting communication and shutdown during emergency conditions. On-grid inverters produce pure sine wave of AC electricity than off-grid string inverter; hence, increasing the use of on-grid string inverter that ensures the safety and efficiency of home appliances. String inverters are most commonly used in the residential and commercial applications and nowadays increasingly used in the small utility projects across the globe.
Rapid development in the renewable energy sector and easy installation of string inverters are the key factors that drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, high heat loss in the large-sized string inverter and absence of panel level monitoring are the key factors restraining the growth of the market in the upcoming years. On the contrary, increase in government initiatives and investments in the electrification of rural and remote areas are anticipated to create opportunity for the key players in the string inverter market globally.

This new product launch enhanced the product portfolio of the company.
By Connection Type
On-Grid String Inverter is projected as the most lucrative segment.
By connection type, the on-grid segment held the largest market share in 2019, owing to rise in investment for direct supply of electricity rather than storing it in batteries. In addition, increase in electricity demand from the emerging economies fuels the demand for on-string application of string inverter in solar applications.
By Phase
Three Phase is projected as the most lucrative segment.
On the basis of phase, the three phase segment dominated the global market in 2019, in terms of share, owing to the transitioning trend from 1 kilo volt solar arrays to 1.5 kilo volt solar arrays, which in turn increase the size of PV power plants in the large commercial and utility installations, fueling the growth of the three phase market during the forecast period.
By End-use Industry
Utilities is projected as the most lucrative segment.
By end-use industry, in 2019, the utilities segment held the largest market share, owing to increase in investment in the utility scale solar power plants, solar parks, and other solar structures.
By Region
Asia-Pacific holds a dominant position in 2019 and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific garnered the highest share in the string inverter market in 2019, in terms of revenue, and is anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
