Market Overview
A string inverter is a device applied in collaboration with solar arrays to transform the energy that
is generated (Direct Current) to exploitable electricity for a residence (Alternating Current). They
are associated to several solar panels with the aim of making the performance equal to the worst
performing panel. String inverters have the advantage of being a short-term low cost solution
owing to the lower equipment need as compared to micro inverters. One string inverter can
monitor the energy generated from an array of 5 to 10 panels. Therefore, the user can save on the
direct equipment cost by purchasing one string inverter instead of 5 to 10 micro inverters.
Nonetheless, the long-term costs linked with string inverters far prevail over the advantages.
A string inverter framework can only act as well as its lowest operating panel. So, if a panel is
facing obstruction from shade or debris, every other panel linked to that inverter will operate at a
reduced capacity. On top of all these, there is high voltage electrical energy prevailing constantly
on the user’s roof. As the energy gets converted at the conclusion of the row of panels, and it does
not directly impact the panel, almost 1,000 volts of DC electricity gets transferred across the roof.
This can pose as a key hazard that can pave the way for fire and arc-faulting. In string inverter,
each installation requires a mode of conversion from direct current to alternative such as solar
inverter systems, which allows generated electricity to be supplied into the power grid. Growing
demand for constant and consistent power sources as well as easy customization and installation
are some of the aspects which propel the market for string inventor. String inverters find wide
application in commercial, residential, utilities, and industrial fields. The rising consumption of
solar energy throughout the globe is considered as one of the key driving factors for the expansion
of the market. The string inverter market is likely to be boosted by reduced cost coupled with
eliminating systems monitoring abilities. Additionally, accessibility, increased efficiency, and
reliability will boost global String Inverter Market Share during the assessment period. Growing
renewable incorporation in utility scale large projects is also boosting the development of string
inverters market. On the other hand, heat loss owing to the large size of the inverter often acts as
a key limiting factor for the growth of the worldwide string inverter market.

Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific is likely to lead the global string inverter market over the forecast period. The growth
can be attributed to the factor such as development on account of surging demand for clean fuel
electricity. Additionally, government initiatives such as Jawaharlal Nehru National solar mission
in India, to stimulate solar system adoption as well as norms such as feed-in tariffs can be
considered as motivating forces behind the growth of the market. While, Americas are estimated
