The Global Solar PV Inverter and MLPE Landscape: H2 2017

Report summary

Global solar PV inverter shipments will reach a record 88.4 GWac in 2017, up from 80.4 GWac in 2015. The three largest solar markets – China, the United States and Japan – will each decline in 2018, resulting in flat shipment growth in 2018.

Inverter prices show no sign of stabilizing, current technology trends have not exhausted their cost-reduction potential, and many markets are still extremely fragmented. Not every company can be a global player, and so shifting demand and falling prices will result in increased market consolidation.

This report provides detailed, country-specific pricing and forecasts for microinverters, single-phase string inverters, three-phase string inverters, central inverters and DC optimizers. The report also profiles and provides current and historical shipment estimates for 25 of the world's largest inverter suppliers.
