PV inverter market in the coming years is the key

Usually, the DC power into AC power is called an inverter , the inverter circuit having a function is called to complete the inverter circuit , the process of realization of the inverter device called an inverter or inverter device .

According IMSResearch released "Global PV inverter market," the quarterly report forecast 2013 global PV installed capacity will achieve double-digit growth , reaching 35GW. However, the PV inverter market revenue will not grow , manufacturers will usher in a challenging year . As manufacturers try to break into new markets, in a highly competitive market environment, the expected average selling prices will decline inverter .

In recent years , China's sustained and rapid development of photovoltaic industry . Has been taking are " two out " model of development , nearly 80 % of the raw materials imported from abroad, turn over 90 % of the photovoltaic module products exported abroad. This development model makes China's photovoltaic industry has greatly constrained by foreign markets , so unable to cope with the "double reverse" investigation initiated by the current European and American industrial development suffered.

The face of Europe "dual" under foreign markets shrinking , Chinese PV companies began to put more attention to the domestic market , while the more recent introduction of national support policies are more predictive of the domestic PV market prospects. Meanwhile, as the domestic market is about to open , as the core components of photovoltaic systems inverter market demand will be growing .

In 2010 , China's photovoltaic grid capacity of 500 megawatts , the inverter market is about 500 million yuan . Currently, the " five-second" domestic PV installed capacity target sharply upwards to 10GW, compared with the previously announced goal of doubling . Assuming all of these installed and the network , according to one yuan / watt cost , is estimated that by 2015, domestic inverter market will reach 10 billion yuan .

Meanwhile, with the development of the market , the inverter manufacturers are able to successfully enter these growing PV market and profit in the future, but it is not easy. With the development of South Africa and the South American market , the PV inverter market will become more fragmented, and the reasonable expectations of long-term strategic decisions is crucial in the coming years. "

For those who can on grid inverter manufacturer has undergone many challenges in 2013 , it successfully into emerging markets , with the PV market towards a more mature in the next few years is expected to return to double-digit growth rate . Meanwhile , the inverter market will no longer Eurocentric , but spread to more mainland . IMSResearch predicts 2012 will account for 54% of European global shipments by 2014 this proportion will decline to 40 %.
