Modularity, safety, and maximum energy harvest will continue
to drive the market at a considerable pace through 2020. Till recent years, the
demand for micro inverters was highly restricted to North America. However, the
market is gradually shifting toward commercial applications, and witnessing
expansion in most of the developed as well as developing regions outside the
U.S.
Adoption of solar micro inverters has gained momentum in the
recent past, resulting in a growing market in developing nations, including
Asia Pacific. Improved device features and enhanced efficiency are currently
pushing the market in APAC, which is projected to continue in the near future
as well, creating a lucrative market for micro inverters on a global level.
APAC Solar Micro Inverters Market: Key Drivers
Declining Prices to Push Demand
The market is currently growing at a considerable pace.
Persistent advances in R&D of solar micro inverters and substantial
reduction in costs of micro inverters are estimated to boost the market during
the forecast period.
Size and Modularity to Impact Maximum Applications
Compact size and high modularity of solar micro inverters
make them ideal for residential applications. These two are the key drivers why
micro inverters are currently gaining an impetus at a global level.

Superiority over Conventional Inverters is a Key Driver
Solar micro inverters are superior over conventional
centralised or string inverters in various ways.
- Unlike
string inverters, micro inverters are tolerant to shade and do not let the
power generation performance of individual solar panels drop, even if the
area surrounding them is shady. This character is identified as one of the
key factors positively influencing the demand for micro inverters when it
comes to their efficiency.
- Contrary
to centralised inverters, solar micro inverters are compact in size and do
not need separate air cooling, resulting in lesser heat loss. This is
another factor fuelling the demand for micro inverters in the market.
- Moreover,
a broken string or centralised inverter faces halted performance merely
due to a defect in one panel, whereas a defective panel in a micro
inverter does not degrade the performance of the entire system because the
system architecture allows individual panel monitoring. The maximum power
is generated through MPPT. This has been an important driver in
popularising micro inverters over the years.
Higher Costs Can Create Challenges
However, relatively higher initial costs associated with
installation and replacement of micro inverts may continue to create a major
roadblock for solar micro inverters from becoming a widely commonplace device
across Asia Pacific. Furthermore, installation of micro inverters requires the
installation of another extra monitoring device – a communication bus, in
addition to the basic common monitoring system. This in turn adds up to the
final costs.
APAC Solar Micro Inverters Market Segmentation
FMI’s research offers a six-year forecast, segmenting the
APAC market for solar micro inverters based on the type, consumer, and
application.
Based on the type, the market is segmented into standalone
solar micro inverter market and grid tied solar micro inverter market. On the
basis of consumers, the solar micro inverter market in Asia Pacific is
segmented as urban and rural. The urban segment dominates the market owing to
rising awareness about alternate energy usage and growing population density in
urban areas.
According to the application, the solar micro inverters
market in APAC is segmented as residential and commercial. As micro inverters
are economically lesser affordable compared to other traditional inverters,
their residential applications find a lower market share in economically
sensitive regions in Asia Pacific. However, the commercial solar micro inverter
market application currently dominates the market.

Market to Explore Untapped Growth Opportunities in APAC
Although the U.S. is a leading market for solar micro
inverters, adoption of solar micro inverters is expected to gain traction in
Asia Pacific, especially in India, Japan, and Australia. Soaring fuel prices,
burgeoning demand for power supply, and favourable government policies are
currently driving the market in APAC.
Regional Analysis: APAC Solar Micro Inverters Market
India, owing to the availability of ample renewable energy
sources, captures a prominent position in the APAC market for micro inverters.
Growing awareness about benefits of micro inverters and widespread adoption of
renewable energy sources for agriculture are expected to fuel the demand for
solar micro inverters across India. The Union Budget of India for 2014-15 has
clearly indicated emphasis on using solar for electricity generation. This is a
key factor, anticipated to provide momentum to the market for micro inverters
in and post-2016.
Japan, despite representing a key residential market
potential, has been facing limited micro inverter shipments. Stringent
certification norms are anticipated to govern the Japanese market but domestic
suppliers are expected to encounter growing opportunities.
Australia is a relatively emerging market for photovoltaics,
which makes it an unestablished market for string and centralised inverters.
The Australian market, since the past few years, has been reflecting growing
demand for micro inverters and FMI’s research indicates string growth prospects
for micro inverter suppliers. Recently, Enphase announced to commercially
launch their AC battery first in Australia, later this year. ARENA Australia,
through ample of renewable energy funds, will continue to provide an additional
thrust to the market.
In addition, there are other expanding market, including
Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines. Malaysia hosts several off-grid projects,
whereas Indonesia is up for a thousand islands project. Philippines is also
continually initiating multiple rural electrification projects. Utility
companies located in all the three countries are currently prioritising rural
electrification.
