COVID– 19 Impact
The worldwide outbreak of coronavirus has had tremendous impact on the economy around the world. The COVID- 19 influenced the supply chain, elevating the prices of components and raw materials. The solar PV industry, on the other hand, experienced a positive impact upon its installation trend for the year 2020 because of helpful government programs including Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) incorporated with accelerating rooftop installations. Additionally, industrialized economies are concentrating on mitigating for the recent effects of COVID- 19 by speeding up the development of their existing solar PV projects.
PV Inverter Market Trends
The global demand for solar energy has been steadily increasing owing to the enhanced efficiency of these systems. Higher efficiency means that more of the captured sunlight is converted into usable electricity, which ultimately leads to better overall system performance and increased energy yields. Furthermore, policymakers' persistent conceptualization of policies and efforts to promote solar PV deployments, in conjunction with favorable customer preferences, will enhance industry dynamics in the coming years.
