2013 PV micro-inverter needs analysis

From 2013 to 2017 , the global market size of micro- inverter is expected to continue to grow as the demand and growth in overseas markets, more than four times .

Compared with the traditional microinverter inverter , in many respects has increased , such as function and efficiency . Because of this, micro-inverters are increasingly favored by the new market . Has also been an increasing number of non-US customers recognized and accepted . IHS recently released 2013 PV micro-inverter market analysis report shows that the global PV micro-inverter shipments to 2017 will grow to 2.1GW, 500MW , compared with 2013 growth of 306 %.

PV micro-inverter is a device to convert DC from a single solar module to alternating current. Compared to traditional inverters , micro inverters more expensive , but its output energy output than traditional central inverter or inverter device is much higher . Micro- inverter needs now largely dependent on the U.S. housing market , however , the focus of demand is slowly turning commercial solar systems department and other areas.

The CormacGilligan PV market analyst at IHS , said: " Micro-inverter is currently very popular in the U.S. market , the housing market penetration even more than 40% , however , micro- pure sine wave power inverter suppliers are trying to expand our business into new areas. to increase or maintain market share. Meanwhile, many advantages of micro inverters , such as higher energy production , security, and component-level detection function , etc. for residential systems, especially small-scale projects are still very attractive .
