The Solar PV Inverters Market size is estimated at USD 14.27 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 19.89 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.87% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The major players in global PV Inverter market include SMA, Huawei, etc. The top 2 players occupy about 30% shares of the global market. Asia-Pacific is main market, and occupies over 60% of the global market. String Inverter is the main type, with a share about 60%. Public Utilities is the main application, which holds a share about 45%.

The solar PV inverters market is segmented by inverter type, application, and geography. By inverter type, the market is segmented into central inverters, string inverters, and micro-inverters.

A solar PV inverter is a power inverter that converts electricity in direct current (DC) output from a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into alternating current (AC) at utility frequency. This can be used for residential and commercial electrical grids or by a local off-grid electrical network, such as microgrids.

The industry saw this renewed increase in shipments as the pandemic-related chip shortage and other supply chain challenges eased in 2022. The top five vendors – Huawei, Sungrow, Ginlong Solis, Growatt, and GoodWe – shipped more than 200 GWac and accounted for 71% of total global PV inverter shipments in 2022, growing 8% from 2021.
