String Inverter Market to Reach USD 10.5 Billion by 2035, Driven by Utility-Scale Distributed Plants and Smart Grid Features

The global String Inverter Market is projected to grow from USD 6.1 billion in 2025 to USD 10.5 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Growth is being propelled by rapid solar capacity additions, the shift to modular and easily maintainable power conversion architectures, and rising demand for smart-grid-capable inverters across residential, commercial and utility-scale deployments.

Industry leaders and system integrators view string inverters as the backbone of distributed PV - delivering modularity, higher granular control, and faster fault recovery compared with central inverters - and a clear enabler for rooftop, microgrid and utility-edge solar expansion.

The platform emphasizes enhanced thermal management, integrated AI performance optimizers, and safety features that target residential, commercial and utility applications.

FIMER Introduces High-Capacity Platform (May 2025)

Also in May 2025, FIMER S.p.A. rolled out a high-capacity string inverter platform tailored for utility-scale and commercial projects. The product focuses on modular architecture, predictive diagnostics and robust grid-compliance monitoring to reduce lifecycle costs and operational complexity for large renewable installations.

Market Momentum from Smart Features and Vendor Roadmaps

Vendors are racing to add multi-MPPT, hybrid (PV + battery) support, module-level monitoring and digital-twin analytics. The report highlights Huawei's 2024 smart string inverter launch (AI-based monitoring and real-time diagnostics) and SolarEdge's broad market presence, underlining the industry move toward software-enabled, high-yield inverter platforms.

String Inverter Market Forecast 2035
The market is set to create an incremental opportunity of USD 4.4 billion between 2025 and 2035 (USD 10.5 Bn - USD 6.1 Bn).

Asia Pacific leads the market with 51% share in 2025 (approximately USD 3.1 billion), driven by fast-growing solar installations and supportive government programs.

Utility-scale distributed plants are the single largest application, accounting for ~50% of global demand in 2025, due to the economics of modular string inverter deployments and the need for scalable, maintainable conversion systems.

Across the forecast horizon, string inverters will increasingly support microgrids, EV charging integration, and virtual power plant (VPP) architectures, expanding their role from DC→AC conversion to distributed energy management nodes.

Key Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities
Driver - Rapid Solar Additions and Preference for Modular Conversion

Widening adoption of rooftop and distributed PV - for homes, commercial buildings and distributed plants - is a primary catalyst. String inverters deliver modularity, easier maintenance, and higher per-panel monitoring granularity. Multi-MPPT and hybrid inverters expand applicability into storage-tied and bi-directional grid services.

Restraint - Price Pressure and Grid Compliance Complexity

Price competition, especially in cost-sensitive markets, constrains margins. The report notes that stricter standards and grid codes (for example, minimum inverter efficiency and smart-inverter functionality requirements) create compliance hurdles and add engineering overhead for manufacturers and project developers. These dynamics force vendors to balance cost, feature complexity and certification timelines.

Opportunity - Smart Inverter Value-Add and Policy Tailwinds

Policy incentives and tax credits indirectly boost inverter demand by lowering system-level costs. Smart-inverter features that offer grid-support services (voltage ride-through, reactive power control, remote diagnostics) open new revenue streams and differentiation opportunities for manufacturers willing to certify early and partner with utilities on grid-interactive projects.

Key Trend - Software, Monitoring and Grid Interactivity
The dominant product innovation trend is embedding IoT, AI and analytics into inverter platforms. Examples in the report include Huawei's AI-based FusionSolar inverter and SolarEdge's massive installed base.

These smart functions improve energy yield, accelerate troubleshooting, and enable new services such as VPP participation and predictive maintenance - turning inverters into active grid-edge assets rather than passive converters.
