2015 'smart' PV inverter shipments will increase to 27GW

"Smart" PV inverter shipments are expected to increase to 2015 27GW, a market share of 60%, while in 2010 only 20% share. This is mainly the utilities to improve grid problem of uneven development is driven Meanwhile, equipped with energy storage capabilities PV inverter demand makes further into the "smart grid."

In the "world PV Inverter Market Report" shows, such as reactive power, smart grid and energy storage and other functions are the inverter from a simple grid power converter into an important part of the infrastructure, and will the next five years to completely change the PV inverter market. IMS Research's PV research analyst Tom Haddon said: "The utilities, especially in Europe, utilities, started to be more active in promoting the stability of the grid inverters play a facilitating role, and make it comply with the more stringent technical requirements.

"Because of this, IMS Research forecasts to 2015 smart inverters in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market share of 80% of the market share. Haddon said:" Nonetheless, most of the inverter is still not 'completely smart ', will only have the function of reactive power, instead of the smart grid have full interaction or energy storage. "

Study found that Germany is through the new "low-voltage instructions" (Low and Medium Voltage Directives) leading photovoltaic integration process, while other European countries are also to follow the German approach. Therefore, if the instructions fully implemented, the "standard" type inverter market share is expected to decline in 2015 to 42%.

"If you want to become an energy photovoltaic integral part of the structure, then the reactive power must become an essential function of the inverter, which is the first of the German authorities to take such a cause of action." Haddon added.

Report that another new trend is a combination of energy storage capabilities inverter, IMS Research predicts that by 2015, nearly 5% of the  photovoltaic inverter will be equipped with storage capabilities, such as batteries and other equipment to help power a 24-hour continuous load. However, to achieve this purpose, the inverters must be rapidly reduced product costs, and gained wide acceptance in the efficiency and reliability are increased before.

"With the energy storage capabilities of the micro grid tie inverter demand will be inclined to" self-consumption "to encourage policy-driven, however, the current solutions rely on lithium-ion battery, it costs too expensive now, after being widely accepted before the need to significantly reduce costs. "Haddon concludes.

Solectria Renewables are very proud to be a Rinehart Solar Farm project and Florida's largest rooftop solar project inverter supplier. "

2010 micro-inverters and power optimizers growth rate of 500%

In 2010, the PV inverter industry, the utilization of rapid gains disruptive technologies, micro-inverters and power optimizers, shipments grew more than 500%. But they still only account for PV inverters less than 1% of total revenue. Out mostly concentrated in a small volume of some of the suppliers among companies such as Enphase and SolarEdge, respectively, in micro-inverters and DC-DC power optimizers success on the market, and is currently active in the market of suppliers have more than 20, and the market is expected to grow at an annual growth rate doubled and continued until 2015.

IMS Research expects micro-inverters andpower optimizers market value by 2015, more than 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. Until then, mass production can be achieved through an OEM agreement, the price of these breakthrough technologies will be significantly reduced. However, by 2015, the average price of micro-inverter is expected to still be higher than the traditional 50% of the inverter, so the market penetration will be limited to about 6%.

Increasing the amount of supply and declining prices will drive these two ground-breaking technology. IMS Research's PV market analyst Tom Haddon said: "The groundbreaking technology, such as micro-inverters and power optimizers claim to be able to bring many advantages, including greater gains, easy installation, and security and to improve monitoring of But now their prices are high, and the market is relatively immature, limiting their development, especially for non-residential installation system outside North America, the development of micro-inverter penetration is very slow because European installers still prefer the string inverters. "

Although the development of the new off grid inverter market in its infancy, but there are several factors that may promote or hinder its development. Some micro-inverters and power optimizers suppliers is actively consult and cooperate with component suppliers, providing component integration solutions. By 2015, 45% and 40% of the micro-inverter power optimizer will combine with the component. Tom Haddon said: "By working with component suppliers, micro-inverters and power optimizers providers can get a huge customer base and established sales channels, providing customers with better prices, while also providing for the component suppliers differentiated products. "

Five trends solar inverters

First half of 2011, the solar inverter market developments as expected, but showed a downturn situation. Speculated that there are two possible reasons: First, in 2010 Q2 to Q3 market demand, enabling customers to a large number of repeat orders, which is leading to excessive production of solar inverter main reason, but also to the fourth quarter of 2010, solar inverter the stock continues to climb.

To the first half of 2011, distributors are still struggling to clear the 2010 inventory dilemma. Second, the major European markets continued to reduce solar subsidy costs, resulting in end-market demand dropped significantly, relative to the solar inverter charger is also greatly reduced demand.

From the current development of the market, we can observe the solar inverter five trends: a solar inverter appearance continued diversification. In order to match the appearance of new buildings, inverters colors and styles are becoming more and more fashion sense.

  Smart grid management functions become a trend, but also the number of operators active in product development efforts. But would like to increase the solar inverter grid management functions is not easy, unless you have a wealth of relevant experience in power interconnection, it will easily have lost.

  The storage device and the solar grid tie power inverter combination of new products has also become the focus of market attention. The storage device into PV systems, sustainable cost reduction, without affecting the reliability, which many system operators hope to break through the bottleneck.

  Solar inverter output power will continue to break records. Coming through modular or master-slave (Master-Slave) mechanism, a single solar inverter output power will continue to improve. Solar Micro-inverter and power optimizer development although slow, but market acceptance is gradually increased.

Solar: Inverter Industry Research Letters that the latest views

In early September in Chengdu new energy strategy meeting, invited to the field of domestic photovoltaic inverters mostly heavyweight corporate guests (Kstar [30.73 0.52% stock research reports], sun power, Emerson), and organized a symposium and guests to share with you the current domestic and global inverter industry in the market and technology trends.

Domestic PV installed capacity into rapid growth: Wind power in national policy clearly after several consecutive years of double growth, China's PV market has its own formal "tariff" policy, will replicate this development spurt is a high probability event. 2011, will be the development of grid-connected PV power peak, we expect China in 2011 and 2012 PV installed capacity will be added in 2010 on the basis of only around 400MW to 1.5GW and 3GW soared above, a substantial boost grid-connected photovoltaic inverter needs.

Inverter prices despite the decline, but the decline is much lower than PV modules, technology and performance barriers guarantees of future gross margin level: PV inverter product prices quickly sell phase is over, and as the need to continue the high-end R & D investment power electronic products, which are subject to margin compression space is quite limited, the product range will gradually decline in value of slowing down future costs will come from improvements in the design and components domestically.

Since the beginning of the inverter price decline of about 10 to 15%, expected within three years, large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic inverter prices will stabilize at 0.75 yuan / watt, while the gross margin will remain at 30%. ≠ low barriers to participating companies and more: Getting started is easy, good hard, bigger and harder: PV dc to ac inverter in China first appeared as an industry soon, the relatively low barriers to entry does attract a large number of domestic enterprises to participate in R & D production, but product parameters and access to a wide range of institutional quality certification, customer acceptance, and even enterprises to achieve volume shipments of few; worldwide situation the same way.

Domestic inverter market share gradually increased, a firm domestic and global objectives: PV inverter as a long-term operation stability requirements for products with a higher, with a more profound technology accumulation, and can be the first to receive a certain amount of stable operation performance Enterprises have a chance to become bigger and stronger, while the edge enterprises will soon be out of the market; domestic first-mover companies with domestic PV installation market is expected to start running to gain valuable experience for the future and lay a solid foundation to enter the international market.

Market concentration continued to increase, electrical equipment multinational giants to join or change the competitive landscape: the global top 15 inverter suppliers combined market share from 76% in year 2007 increased to 83% in 2010, Eaton, GE, etc. giants join or future competitive landscape impact.

Inverter future direction of technology development: In addition to further improve operational efficiency and reliability, increase the output power quality, and enhance the ability to bind with the smart grid, improve operational stability under harsh environment, etc., will also become PV micro grid tie inverter technology important goal of progress.

PV inverters at runtime from the grid need to meet the requirements of power quality, power stations running the business for ease of operation and maintenance requirements, investors and reliability of the inverter efficiency gains that are affected by power requirements, which is PV inverter technology continues to advance the power source.

IMS Research forecasts PV inverter market in 2014 will reach $ 8.5 billion

IMS Research's latest research report, it is estimated that by 2014, the global PV inverter market will reach $ 8.5 billion, nearly 25% annual growth rate. The report also revealed that in 2014 will be sold over 7 million inverters, and in 2009 was less than 1 million.

IMS Research's new study also found that despite the 2010 ex-factory price of photovoltaic inverter has decreased by about 11%, but the income has more than doubled for the first time exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars. In the long term, despite the price decline will continue, coupled with changes in industrial structure, it is expected that positive growth will continue, and the size of the market in the next five years will double again.

Although the development of the PV inverter market with installed capacity of PV systems is closely related to, but because of product shortages, bottlenecks and original orders doubled and other reasons, making the demand in 2011 inverter PV system installation and basic growth "decoupling." Suppliers and cause significant changes in market share and the supply and demand imbalance. In early 2010 the original supply bottlenecks, with the outbreak of the German market, leading to a serious shortage of inverters. Shortage has seriously affected part of the suppliers, such as SMA lost market share, while Power-One, etc. are to seize the major share.

IMS Research's latest report has confirmed that the current shortage situation has weakened, the inverter has an oversupply of supply and demand trends in the fourth quarter of 2010, inventory remains high and will remain the first quarter of 2011. Photovoltaic Research Center Director Ash Sharma said, "although in early 2010 inverter supply shortages, but IMS Research estimated that more than 2GW inverter is not to be needed, which led to the suppliers and the entire supply chain inventory are the high no less, which is a direct result of orders doubled, also led to a large number of orders were canceled and withdrawn. "

The inverter shortage, many suppliers announced capacity expansions, in 2010 the entire industry capacity over 30GW, twice the previous year. A large expansion of production capacity, the plant's utilization also increased significantly in 2010 to approximately 70%, in 2010 nearly 90% of the third quarter. IMS Research expects the expansion of production capacity will continue to madness, Ash Sharma said, "off grid inverter suppliers will continue expansion, especially in Asia and North America. 2011 is expected to further increase the 12-15GW capacity, for the uncertain outlook 2012 market, this figure is somewhat surprising. "

Despite the tight supply demand in 2010, but the ex-factory price of inverter actually fell about 11%, although by the distributors who supply situation and profit from many end customers, which results in a feeling of price increases. But the price decline is not due to capacity expansion, but rather the result of a series of changes, as most products are sold to Germany, while making the price lower. In 2011, prices are expected to fall by 10-15% year on year, however, as the market focus shifted from Germany, which will also help to make the average price of a more gentle decline.

To win a major share of the three-phase inverter

Although from the micro-inverters and power optimizers manufacturers to seize the news headlines in 2010, but the biggest change from the traditional architecture of the inverter supplier, a small three-phase product has undergone tremendous changes, especially less than 20kW product . Because installers up to 100-200kW in commercial installations tend to kind of products, so in fact these products are the fastest selling product in 2010 and won the major share. Since MW-scale PV power plants from around the strong demand, more large than 500kW inverters also experienced a rapid growth in 2010, with shipments grew more than 250%.

In the long term, IMS Research forecasts due to various reasons, this will be the market one of the most promising areas, Ash Sharma said, "because many countries are expected utility-scale project demand will surge, including the United States and India, For many suppliers, and even more than 500kW 1MW large central inverters will become increasingly attractive business areas. Moreover, such products are generally highly engineered, and has advanced features and design to attract health profit margins, and prevent stealing market share from low-cost competition

SMA Solar inverter output in the first quarter sales of more than 1 GW

Niestetal, - SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA / FWB: S92) still maintains its expectations for the year 2011, although the first-quarter sales figures declined. The total sales for the first three months of 255.9 million euros, over the company expected, but still lower than the previous year data (2010 first quarter sales of 339.3 million euros of data). Customers still maintained a high inventory levels, however, important European solar market movements and the incentive plan for the future is expected to decline in module prices have led to this quarter for the decline in demand for solar inverters.

Compared with the same quarter last year, the company export rate almost doubled. SMA Solar Technology AG CEO Günther Cramer explains: "These data confirm the company's strong market share in the global market (companies across four continents have 17 branches), and is particularly remarkable in several prospects in the PV market active development. "one quarter, exports reached 66.4% (38.8% in 2010 export rate). The most important international markets, including Italy, North America, Australia and France.

SMA PV inverters first quarter total sales capacity of 1,019 MW (2010 years 1,288 MW). Sunny Tripower phase inverter has been awarded the prize, the company is one of the most successful products. Günther Cramer stressed that: "The market's strong response to the Sunny Tripower SMA again proved decisive technological advantage." In 2011 the company plans to develop a budget of 100 million euros, which will be further expanded in the past on the basis of the company's technological superiority.

Although a quarter of the fourth quarter of 2010, income was only half of total revenue, SMA EBIT in the quarter total revenue remains high at € 13.7 million (first quarter of 2010 was 92.4 million euros), which depends on the company's highly elastic system. This is 5.4% EBIT margin coincide. Consolidated net profit of € 10.3 million (first quarter 2010 total revenue of € 66.6 million), while earnings per share reached € 0.3 (2010 first quarter was 1.92 euros).

SMA net cash income for the first quarter fell to 462 million euros (December 31, 2010 was 523.4 million euros), mainly with the weak links and business development related to changes in net working capital. SMA's balance sheet structure remains solid, and its equity ratio was 57.5%.

March 31, 2011 net working capital has risen to € 314.9 million (December 31, 2010 was 284.6 million euros), reaching the last 12 months 17.1% of total sales. While the ratio is less than the company's management expected 18-20% range. Net operating costs increased mainly due to planned increases for raw materials, consumables, supplies inventory, but due to business reasons for the increase in the final product inventory.

SMA products, demand early in the second quarter rose slightly. Significant sales on the international market to stimulate a steady stream. SMA Board expects that the second half of this year than in the first half of the development activity greatly increased, and estimated 2011 annual sales will be 1.5 to 1.9 billion euros between the margin of 21-25%.

Green inverter into the international market

"SNEC 5th (2011) International Solar Photovoltaic Exhibition" will be held February 22 opened in Shanghai, this is an international event in the field of solar energy, Germany, USA, Japan and other 60 countries and regions of the photovoltaic industry enterprises will participate in this exhibition.

 This event is a showcase of solar photovoltaic technology and the strength of the corporate arena, so the companies will come up with "quality products" exhibition, as the capital of a new leader in the field of energy - Jingyi Group is no exception, this time bringing its Beijing Miriam Green Jingyi company produces greenenergy photovoltaic inverters.

Jingyi related green energy company leaders said Green inverter development of the industry have a crucial impact, there has been a bottleneck photovoltaic, solar photovoltaic cells can only produce direct current, it must be converted into alternating current to the grid, This process of transformation through an inverter to achieve, if not an excellent support for an inverter, solar power system to produce a large part of the energy lost during the conversion, photovoltaic power generation can not really generate economic benefits, not only difficult to make a profit, but need subsidies, which is the world's photovoltaic power generation has been difficult in large-scale promotion of the cause.

Green inverter can help break this bottleneck, the energy conversion efficiency of his staggering 98.8%, which means the voltage conversion process is almost no loss of energy, and power factor, to send all the power to the grid are useful work, almost no energy loss, the same investment in photovoltaic power generation system, the use of green energy inverters party would greatly increase the amount of actual power generation, solar power plants not only do not need subsidies, but can be profitable.

In order to expand the scale of production, green energy has been established in Beijing, two large-scale production base, the move is bound to reduce the price of finished inverter, a strong impetus to the popularity of photovoltaic power generation.

Become the standard setters

Green technical strength has been recognized by the relevant departments, green energy products in the last year won the country's most authoritative Golden Sun certification early this year, China Association of Resources Comprehensive Utilization of Renewable Energy Professional Committee, Renewable Energy Industry Association Working Committee Jingyi awarded Green Power System Engineering Co., vice chairman of the Committee of Experts Certificates, Renewable Energy Professional Committee of the renewable energy industry's most authoritative body, shoulder to the relevant government departments to develop the industry development planning, regulations, and industry standards formulate such responsibility, in the entire inverter industry, only Jingyi Hefei Sunshine and Green two companies to be their chairman. The Committee of Experts is the industry added Jingyi Green scores for sure, Jingyi green field of solar energy can become a standard setter.

Currently Green off grid inverter market has been fully rolled out nationwide, winning consecutive Chuxiong and so many large-scale photovoltaic power generation project, the next step to prepare to enter the international market. Countries in the world in the development of clean energy, and excellent inverters worldwide are selling equipment, in order to enter the international market green energy has made full preparations, last year won the green energy inverters Rhine testing and certification Services in China issued by TUV and CE certification, test results showed that green energy product level even higher than the CE / TUV standards.

For example, during the high temperature experiments, green energy products, the maximum operating temperature and minimum operating temperatures are stricter than the standard 10 ℃, obtain two certificates which marks the European market will be open Jingyi green energy. Currently, Italy and Argentina, customers have expressed the intention to cooperate green energy, green energy also in Beijing built a large-scale inverter production base, ready to supply the global market preparation.

The Green Jingyi exhibitors not only for the performance of the Group's strength is more important is the international exhibition SNEC fancy background, I hope to take this platform to tell the world that the world's best inverters in China, in the Green .

PV inverter usher in the golden period of development

Solar modules DC electricity is issued, must pass DC to AC only after the grid or load. Photovoltaic inverter solar power system is essential devices in the PV system costs accounted for about 10% to 13%.

Europe is the rise of the global PV earliest areas, the sine wave inverter technology is a world leader. German SMA's global market share of over 40%. In addition, the United States and Japan, several manufacturers have a strong power, the world's top five manufacturers of the market share of over 70%.

 Since China started late solar terminal market, the domestic photovoltaic inverter manufacturers smaller, domestic PV inverters in the process, stability and other performance indicators and imported products have a certain gap.

Domestic PV installed capacity market, mainly from the Bureau of Energy and large-scale PV demonstration power plant "Golden Sun demonstration project". In 2010, the National Energy Board set up the second batch of the total size of the tender plant 280MW, a total of 13 items. Golden Sun demonstration projects on key equipment (PV modules, inverters and storage batteries) bid price agreement by giving 50% subsidy, other costs according to different project types respectively 4 yuan / watt and 6 yuan / watt given a fixed subsidy. This projection, Golden Sun demonstration project power plant construction cost of approximately $ 7-8 / W, from 2010 to 2011 recoverable investment costs. Golden Sun demonstration project, the domestic photovoltaic power plant has a certain degree of profitability, market enthusiasm is high.

In addition, 2 December 2010, four departments jointly announced with financial subsidies, "Solar Roofs" program and other initiatives, a strong push in the domestic large-scale photovoltaic power generation applications, and strive to be completed in 2012 1000MW installed capacity was added, to ensure the achievement 2020 The cumulative installed capacity of 20GW target.

China's PV installed capacity market is facing a turning point, is about to start. 2010 domestic PV installed capacity was added about 500MW, 140MW installed capacity in 2009 was 3.5 times. We expect that in 2011 domestic new capacity approaching 1GW, 2012 is expected to reach 1.5GW. The current grid connected inverter per watt 1.1 yuan to 1.2 yuan price calculation, the next two years, the domestic photovoltaic inverter market size reached 1.1 billion and 1.7 billion. Domestic PV inverter into the golden period of development.

For domestic firms, the production of photovoltaic inverter is only to Infineon, Semikron, Mitsubishi, Fuji and other international giants suppliers after the core components to be assembled. Since no complex and expensive production equipment, fixed investment is small, the industry barriers to entry are not high. Next 1 to 2 years, as competition intensifies, with excellent technical skills and a higher cost of corporate control will ultimately come to the fore.

PV inverter power inverter and can be divided into small power inverter, power inverter technology threshold is much higher than small power inverter. At present, the domestic manufacturers were more likely to enter the field of small and medium power inverter, its technology has been at the same level with foreign manufacturers. Small power inverter products produced alienation small, product stability, cost, and delivery is a major area of ​​competition manufacturers.

Overseas enterprises delivery is generally 6 to 8 months, the domestic enterprises have geographical advantages, the delivery is relatively short. Meanwhile, domestic enterprises capacity building fast, relatively low labor costs, in the small power inverter has an obvious competitive advantage. Power Inverter (300KV, 500KV, etc.) due to higher power, presents great challenges for stability. Future PV inverter technology competition mainly in the field of high power inverters.

Domestic PV installed capacity market launch, make homemade photovoltaic inverter into the golden period of development. Short term, lead through quality certification company has first-mover advantage. But PV inverter industry is relatively low barriers to entry, profits after the cost and technical advantages of long-term development of enterprises is fundamental. Recommendations concern listed companies shortlisted Golden Sun demonstration project Kstar and XJ Electric.

Think Solar --- Esso "wisdom" PV inverters

Isobel leading international research and development system, quality control system, scientific management system to ensure product development and positioning, ensuring quality priority, ensure that the management and optimization; to the high efficiency of 97.6% and a number of international certification of quality provided through more efficient and more consistent user experience rapid development of photovoltaic industry has brought great business opportunities, but also has a potential crisis, technology, quality, equipment, personnel, and both are craving diligently in this industry but difficult to achieve perfection. As an emerging photovoltaic enterprises, especially equipment industry representatives, so we approached the Esso, Esso see how people deal with problems and seize opportunities.

    How do you want to know how people deal with problems Esso, seize the opportunity, let us first look at the results achieved Esso people. Esso has a number of core technologies dc to ac power inverter and its own independent intellectual property rights; currently has seven patents, a software copyright, while also reporting a number of patents. Product efficiency data up to 97.6%, MPPT tracking accuracy of up to 99.5%. Domestic industry-leading products, with the world's advanced level flat. Esso Production TL series products and AS Series products are certified by the German VDE, SAA certification in Australia, the UK G83 certification, China Golden Sun certification and CE certification, testing and certification.

    Esso chairman Ningning engaged in the construction industry, and later to invest, and then later set his sights on renewable energy markets, renewable energy, like variety, how to choose the one you like and be able to take the road of sustainable development? By chance she came into contact with the photovoltaic industry, the industry sparked great interest in her, she thought it was a very wonderful opportunity, the market potential is huge and rapidly growing, but there are a confused stored in her mind

China is the world's largest component manufacturers, but in the core components of PV systems - inverters aspect Why did the international market, Chinese enterprises in the performance of it, which is the market reasons or technical reasons? At this point Ningning increasingly trying to figure out the rules of the game in the photovoltaic market. He led a group who love to explore, carries the ideals and wisdom of the team embarked on this tour photovoltaic industry fast trains, and the main line of PV wind inverter founder of the New Energy Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Esso, from Esso man set foot on the photovoltaic industry adventure.

    Nene said his team's top companies from home and abroad for those engineers and executives, gave a high evaluation, and for herself is very modestly said: "relative Esso technical team, he was a special" grassroots "people." May currently achieved fruitful results, she and her team have worked continuously for 20 months victories. All reflect her scientific management and excellent leadership style.

    To a business foothold in the industry, we must first have a crack technical team, but the domestic photovoltaic inverter late start, professionals extremely scarce, how to build a business skilled and experienced R & D team? "We know that the inverter is the breakdown of the power electronics industry, we have from the traditional power electronics industry to recruit a lot of talent, the core R & D staff of experience in power electronics are more than six years; in the internal division of labor, we will develop positions, according to the nature of the work is broken down. "Isobel's decision not only to resolve the photovoltaic industry in general faced with the embarrassment of lack of personnel, more importantly, can jump out of the old framework, developed the original technology is different from the domestic routes .

IMS Research forecasts PV inverter market in 2014 will reach $ 8.5 billion

IMS Research's latest research report, it is estimated that by 2014, the global PV inverter market will reach $ 8.5 billion, nearly 25% annual growth rate. The report also revealed that in 2014 will be sold over 7 million inverters, and in 2009 was less than 1 million.

IMS Research's new study also found that despite the 2010 ex-factory price of photovoltaic inverter has decreased by about 11%, but the income has more than doubled for the first time exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars. In the long term, despite the price decline will continue, coupled with changes in industrial structure, it is expected that positive growth will continue, and the size of the market in the next five years will double again.

Although the development of the PV inverter market with installed capacity of PV systems is closely related to, but because of product shortages, bottlenecks and original orders doubled and other reasons, making the demand in 2011 inverter PV system installation and basic growth "decoupling." Suppliers and cause significant changes in market share and the supply and demand imbalance. In early 2010 the original supply bottlenecks, with the outbreak of the German market, leading to a serious shortage of inverters. Shortage has seriously affected part of the suppliers, such as SMA lost market share, while Power-One, etc. are to seize the major share.

IMS Research's latest report has confirmed that the current shortage situation has weakened, the inverter has an oversupply of supply and demand trends in the fourth quarter of 2010, inventory remains high and will remain the first quarter of 2011. Photovoltaic Research Center Director Ash Sharma said, "although in early 2010 inverter supply shortages, but IMS Research estimated that more than 2GW inverter is not to be needed, which led to the suppliers and the entire supply chain inventory are the high no less, which is a direct result of orders doubled, also led to a large number of orders were canceled and withdrawn. "

The inverter shortage, many suppliers announced capacity expansions, in 2010 the entire industry capacity over 30GW, twice the previous year. A large expansion of production capacity, the plant's utilization also increased significantly in 2010 to approximately 70%, the third quarter of 2010, close to 90%. IMS Research expects the expansion of production capacity will continue to madness, Ash Sharma said, "inverter suppliers will continue expansion, especially in Asia and North America in 2011 is expected to further increase the 12-15GW capacity, for the uncertain outlook 2012 market, this figure is somewhat surprising. "

Despite the tight supply demand in 2010, but the ex-factory price of inverter actually fell about 11%, although by the distributors who supply situation and profit from many end customers, which results in a feeling of price increases. But the price decline is not due to capacity expansion, but rather the result of a series of changes, as most products are sold to Germany, while making the price lower. In 2011, prices are expected to fall by 10-15% year on year, however, as the market focus shifted from Germany, which will also help to make the average price of a more gentle decline.

To win a major share of the three-phase inverter

Although from the micro grid tie inverter and power optimizers manufacturers to seize the news headlines in 2010, but the biggest change from the traditional architecture of the inverter supplier, a small three-phase product has undergone tremendous changes, especially less than 20kW product . Because installers up to 100-200kW in commercial installations tend to kind of products, so in fact these products are the fastest selling product in 2010 and won the major share. Since MW-scale PV power plants from around the strong demand, more large than 500kW inverters also experienced a rapid growth in 2010, with shipments grew more than 250%.

In the long term, IMS Research forecasts due to various reasons, this will be the market one of the most promising areas, Ash Sharma said, "because many countries are expected utility-scale project demand will surge, including the United States and India, For many suppliers, and even more than 500kW 1MW large central inverters will become increasingly attractive business areas. Moreover, such products are generally highly engineered, and has advanced features and design to attract health profit margins, and prevent stealing market share from low-cost competitors.

Using IGBT power switches 500W solar inverter design

Green energy development in the global trend, more and more household appliances, lighting equipment, power tools, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), and other industrial equipment began to use solar power, solar energy will be converted to the desired alternating current (AC ) or direct current (DC) voltage.

For the high efficiency of these devices produce the required voltage and current, solar power inverter requires the right combination of controller, driver and output power devices. This article discusses this DC to AC inverter design, specifically for 500W Power, 120V and 60Hz frequency single-phase sine wave output is optimized. This design 200V DC input can be connected to the solar array panels a DC / DC voltage converter generates.

For such applications a variety of advanced power devices can be used, such as MOSFET, bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and IGBT. However, in order to obtain the best conversion efficiency and performance of the solar inverter to select the correct power transistor challenging and very time consuming. Over the years studies have shown that, IGBT power devices can provide more than other advantages, including greater current handling capability, with a voltage (rather than current) easily achieve the gate control, and integrated in the package ultra-fast recovery diode achieve faster turn-off time.

IGBT is a minority carrier device, it is the off-time of minority carriers depending on the speed of re-combination, therefore, with the recent technology and improved device structure, its switching characteristics have been significantly enhanced. In addition, IGBT conduction with high performance and a wide safe operating area (SOA), the work is very stable. Based on these fundamental advantages, this article describes the use of this power inverter IGBT power switches.

Since power wind inverter generally use full-bridge topology, so this solar inverter design uses four high-voltage IGBT (Figure 1). Transistors Q1 and Q2 as a high-pressure side IGBT, Q3 and Q4 as low-side power devices. In order to maintain a low total power dissipation low and high power conversion efficiency, the DC / DC inverter solutions utilize low-end and high-side IGBT generation frequency is 60Hz single-phase AC pure sine wave. The author of another article also describes how to apply for such a correct selection of solar inverter high voltage IGBT.
