Utility Scale PV Inverter Market was valued at USD 14.24 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2024 to 2032. Solar power has become increasingly cost-competitive with conventional power sources, such as fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar panels, advancements in technology, and economies of scale associated with large-scale installations have contributed to the cost competitiveness of solar power. This cost advantage makes solar a compelling choice for utility-scale projects and attracts investments in the industry.
A utility PV inverter, also known as a solar inverter or photovoltaic inverter, is an electrical device that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel array into alternating current (AC) electricity suitable for use in the utility grid. The introduction of new product designs equipped with Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) switching components is driving advancements in the utility PV inverter market. These advanced materials offer several benefits, including reduced cooling requirements and increased power densities, resulting in lower overall system costs.
