6 FAQs about [The gap between domestic and imported photovoltaic inverters]

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.

Does the EU import solar PV modules from China?

The EU mostly imports PV modules from China, which for the last decade has remained the global leader in PV manufacturing across the supply chain. This article aims to provide insight into the solar PV industry and the surrounding policy context, focusing on the manufacturing phase and its climate impact.

Who owns the global PV inverter market?

The top 10 PV inverter vendors, led by Chinese giants Huawei and Sungrow, controlled 81% of the global market. Huawei and Sungrow alone captured over 50% of the global share, thanks largely to their popular utility-scale inverters, reports the market analyst.

What is the global solar PV manufacturing capacity in 2022?

In 2022, global solar PV manufacturing capacity increased by over 70% to reach almost 450 GW, with China accounting for over 95% of new facilities throughout the supply chain. The latest IEA data indicate that current (2024) module manufacturing capacity in China exceeds 800 GW .

Is a domestic manufacturing base in solar PV a good investment?

A domestic manufacturing base in solar PV may provide other benefits besides direct employment worthy of future study. Our model does not incorporate any spillover benefits to adjacent industries, such as semiconductors and electronics.

Which countries have the lowest solar PV module manufacturing costs?

Today, China and ASEAN countries (Viet Nam, Thailand and Malaysia) have the lowest solar PV module manufacturing costs for all segments of the supply chain. Economies of scale, supply chain integration, relatively low energy costs and labour productivity make China the most competitive solar module manufacturer worldwide.
