Electrical balance of system (eBOS) technology outlook for solar PV 2026

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the electrical balance of system (eBOS) market for utility-scale solar PV installations. It examines the three primary eBOS architectures: Factory-installed trunk bus Field-installed IPC trunk bus Conventional combiner box systems The report compares technical specifications, cost structures, installation requirements, and operational trade-offs across the three architectures. It also examines global market opportunity for eBOS across major regions and presents project economics for the three architectures for a typical utility-scale PV project. The report also contains manufacturer profiles for leading players in the eBOS space. Clients can use this report to understand the technological differences between the three eBOS architectures. By providing cost-benefit analyses, competitive benchmarking, and vendor assessments, the report enables clients to identify the most appropriate eBOS architecture for their specific project requirements.
