6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter monopoly]
What is the global solar PV inverter market like in 2023?
Global solar PV inverter* shipments grew by 56% in 2023 to 536 GWac, with China accounting for half of all shipments as the country’s solar demand doubled in 2023, according to the latest analysis by Wood Mackenzie. The top 10 PV inverter vendors, led by Chinese giants Huawei and Sungrow, controlled 81% of the global market.
What is the global PV inverter market share?
Global PV inverter shipments grew by 56% to 536 gigawatts alternating current (GWac) in 2023, reflecting a strong year for the broader solar industry. The top 10 global PV inverter vendors accounted for 81% of the market, according to Wood Mackenzie’s ‘ Global solar inverter and module-level power electronics market share 2024’ report.
How did global PV inverter shipments grow in 2023?
Global PV inverter shipments grew by 56% to 536 gigawatts alternating current (GWac) in 2023, reflecting a strong year for the broader solar industry. The top 10 global PV inverter vendors accounted for 81% of the market.
Is polysilicon a bottleneck for solar PV?
Global capacity for manufacturing wafers and cells, which are key solar PV elements, and for assembling them into solar panels (also known as modules), exceeded demand by at least 100% at the end of 2021. By contrast, production of polysilicon, the key material for solar PV, is currently a bottleneck in an otherwise oversupplied supply chain.
How has global solar PV manufacturing capacity changed over the last decade?
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
Are solar PV supply chains cost-competitive?
Currently, the cost competitiveness of existing solar PV manufacturing is a key challenge to diversifying supply chains. China is the most cost-competitive location to manufacture all components of the solar PV supply chain. Costs in China are 10% lower than in India, 20% lower than in the United States, and 35% lower than in Europe.
