The solar microinverter and power optimizer market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a quick expansion in the market size of solar microinverters and power optimizers in previous years. The market is projected to rise from a value of $4.97 billion in 2024 to $5.67 billion in 2025, which represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%.
The historical growth is largely driven by integration with energy storage systems, the rising acceptance and usage of solar power, surge in solar product installations, the development of smart homes and intelligent energy management systems, and the demand for microinverters compatible with contemporary energy systems.
The solar microinverter and power optimizer market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations for the solar microinverter and power optimizer market are bullish, with a rapid expansion anticipated in the coming years. The market is poised to reach $8.94 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
This optimistic growth projection is due to factors such as heightened demand for solar energy, expansion of the residential sector, progress in power harvesting systems, increased acceptance of photovoltaic systems, and government incentives. Further influencing this growth trend are factors such as public incentives, technological innovations, dominance of the residential sector, surging investments, and product advancements.
The forecasted increase in electricity usage is anticipated to drive the expansion of the solar microinverter and power optimizer markets. The term electricity demand is indicative of the rate at which power consumption is taking place at any given moment. It shows the instantaneous quantity of electric power utilization, unlike energy (kWh), which quantifies the aggregate power use over a duration of time. In a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, solar microinverters and power optimizers have a pivotal role to play as they work towards enhancing energy yield and optimizing the operation of each solar panel. Conversion, optimization, and quality control exercises that enable efficient utilization of solar energy for power generation are aided by these devices. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, reported in January 2024 that global electricity demand witnessed a growth of 2.2% in 2023. Additionally, in 2022, the United States observed a 2.6% increase in the demand for electricity. Consequently, this surge in demand for electricity is boosting the expansion of the solar microinverter and power optimizer markets.
