Report Overview

United States Solar Microinverter Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

United States solar microinverter market is thriving and estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.1% in the forecast period. The demand for solar microinverter is growing at a high rate owing to the rapid shift towards cleaner technologies and greener power sources for both commercial and residential use. Furthermore, stringent government regulations, favorable initiatives and policies to boost the adoption of advanced technologies, such as solar microinverters, are anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Solar Microinverter Overview

A solar microinverter or microinverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) produced by a single solar module to alternating current (AC). Microinverters are recommended over string inverters since it overcomes the limitations of the latter. Moreover, these devices reduce system complexity and are much more convenient to install and maintain. Furthermore, microinverter offer greater performance and higher output compared to string inverters, and are much safer than other inverter technologies, which are better value for money over time.

United States Solar Microinverter Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Growing Adoption of Solar Systems

The increasing adoption of solar energy sources and various government initiatives to support renewable energy is significantly propelling the demand for microinverter. The US solar power capacity has grown from just 0.34 GW in 2008 to an estimated 97.2 gigawatts which are equivalent to power 18 million average American homes, according to the US Department of Energy (DoE). The US government is also taking various initiatives, such as funding clean energy supply projects, and implementing output-based environmental regulations, which are anticipated to boost solar energy adoption, fueling the demand for microinverters.

Increasing Launch of New Solar Microinverter

With the increasing demand for the solar microinverter in the United States market, the manufacturers are launching a wide range of products with innovations to establish themselves as market leaders. For instance, LG Electronics has recently launched its high-performance, fully integrated AC solar panel with a microinverter especially for the US homeowners with smart monitoring and remote servicing. Generac also launched two new solar microinverter models for residential PV applications. Such launches are anticipated to boost the consumer’s accessibility to solar microinverter, propelling the overall market growth.

Restraints

High Installation and Maintenance Cost of Solar Microinverters

The high cost of solar microinverter compared to string inverters acts as a major restraining factor to its market growth in the United States. Microinverter typically costs around USD 1,000 or more on a standard 5kW residential solar installation. Even though they offer higher production which eventually saves the electricity bill in the long run, consumers often look for upfront savings. Furthermore, maintenance of a solar microinverter is also a major challenge to its market growth since servicing and replacing its component is a complicated process.

Impact of COVID-19 on United States Solar Microinverter Market

The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted the growth of the United States Solar microinverter market. This is because of the restrictions on the manufacturing and production operations on non-essential items, including solar microinverter, during the lockdown period. Furthermore, the adoption of solar system commercial facilities also registered a sharp drop during the period due to restrictions on their operations. Although the power demand spiked among the residential spaces, the decrease in disposable income and unavailability of resources during the lockdown period also halted the United States Solar Microinverter market.

United States Solar Microinverter Market - By Connectivity

Based on connectivity, the United States solar microinverter market is grouped into standalone and on-grid segments. The standalone connectivity segment accounts for the largest market share. This is because the standalone system is not connected to a grid and stores solar power that can be used for a long time. Due to the high price of batteries, the on-grid segment has also experienced a higher growth rate over the past few years due to its lower cost as compared to the standalone systems.

United States Solar Microinverter Market - By Component

Based on components, the United States solar microinverter market is segmented into hardware and software. The hardware segment holds the largest market share due to the need for hardware components, including microcontroller units (MCUs), sensors, controllers, etc., for setting up solar microinverters. These components together perform the crucial function of converting the DC power into AC power. The increasing launches of improved microinverter components by OEMs such as Emphase plays a crucial factor in driving the market growth.

United States Solar Microinverter Market - By Communication Channel

Based on communication channels, the United States solar microinverter market is segmented into wired and wireless. The wired solar microinverter segment accounts for the largest market share due to its lower cost and ease of installation at smaller residential spaces. However, wired communication channels carry the disadvantage of performance reduction or loss of productivity due to minor shading or malfunction. Due to this, the consumers are increasingly shifting towards wireless solar microinverters, which is propelling the overall market growth.

United States Solar Microinverter Market- Competitive Landscape

The leading players in the United States solar microinverter market are Enphase Energy, SolarBridge Technologies/SunPower, Advanced Energy Industries, CyboEnergy, Chilicon Power, Apparent, Blue Frog Solar, eIQ Energy, HiQ Solar, and other prominent players.

The market is highly fragmented with the presence of numerous industry players, which makes the market competitive and dense for new entrants. The companies frequently launch new products with advanced technologies to increase their product penetration. They also significantly invest in research and development activities to bring innovations into their products to gain a competitive edge. Furthermore, the adoption of competitive strategies such as partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, etc., is also prominent in this market.

Recent Development

• In October 2021, Enphase Energy, a US-based energy technology company, announced the launch of IQ8, which is claimed as the world's first micro-grid-forming microinverter.
