United States Solar Microinverter Market Gaining Impetus: Forecast to Grow at a CAGR of 20.1% during 2022-2028
United States solar microinverter market is growing at a high CAGR because of the increasing adoption of solar systems for generating power, especially in residential spaces. Additionally, favorable government initiatives to boost the adoption of greener power sources in commercial facilities are also driving the market’s growth.
A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting revealed that the United States solar microinverter market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. The US market for solar microinverters is gaining significant traction due to the increasing adoption of solar power systems especially in residential spaces, and various government initiatives to boost the usage of greener power sources in commercial buildings. Due to the growing demand for microinverters in the market, OEMs are also expanding their R&D activities for launching new products and establishing their market presence, which is anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period. However, high installation chargers and maintenance costs of solar microinverters may act as a huge restraining factor for the United State solar microinverter market.
Benefits of Solar Microinverter Over Other Inverter Types Boosting the Market Growth
Solar microinverters may have a high upfront cost but the advantages they offer over other inverter types make them far more economical than their counterparts in the long run. Solar microinverters yield a higher power output, while standalone inverters save energy for later use, which eventually decreases the energy bill. Moreover, microinverters adhere to rapid shutdown standards. Furthermore, solar microinverters also have a longer lifespan and typically offer 25-year warranties. Moreover, with rapid technological advancements, the warranty is also expanding at a high rate.
Rising Demand in Residential Spaces Driving the United States Solar Microinverter Market
Based on end-users, the United States solar microinverter market is segmented into residential, commercial, and others. The residential segment accounts for the largest market share due to the increasing consciousness and investment towards the adoption of greener power sources at homes. Moreover, favorable government initiatives, such as subsidies on the installation of solar microinverter in residential spaces, are also boosting the growth of the solar microinverter market in the United States. However, the commercial segment is also projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
United States Solar Microinverter Market - By Type
Based on types, the United States solar microinverter market is segmented into single phase and three phases. The single-phase microinverter segment holds the largest share in the United States solar microinverter market as they are prominently used for converting DC power into AC power from solar panels in solar systems. These types of microinverters are generally used in residential spaces and save a lot on electricity bills compared to its counterparts, which is fueling its market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on United States Solar Microinverter Market
The United States solar microinverter was tremendously halted by the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. In the light of increasing COVID-19 pandemic cases in the US, the government had to impose strict lockdown to curb the virus spread. This restricted the manufacturing and supply operations of the solar microinverter market, due to which the manufacturers had to witness huge losses during the period. However, the market is anticipated to recover during the forecast period due to the increasing awareness towards greener power sources but the pace is expected to be slow.
