Supportive Government Policies

The US government providing the supportive policy landscape for stakeholders operating in the solar inverter industry through various forms such as federal grants loans, and tax incentives and financial incentives to implement the solar PV panels.

The US government has implemented various tax incentives schemes to foster the adoption of solar energy and related technologies. For instance, US government has implemented the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. Through this act the government allotted USD 369 billion for promotion of renewable energy sector.

Growing focus by the US government on reduction of carbon emissions and increasing awareness about solar energy is expected to drive the demand for the solar inverter during the forecast period. The US government has launched the federal solar investment tax credit facility, under this scheme the residential and commercial end users get financial assistance in a percentage of their solar installation costs from their federal taxes.

Furthermore, US government under their Department of Energy have crated the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to supports research, development, and demonstration of solar energy. Thus, above mentioned supportive policies are expected to drive the demand for the market growth of US solar inverter market during the forecast period.

US Solar Inverter Market: Restraints

High Costs of Solar Inverters

The installation cost of the solar Inverters is very high as requires high-quality raw materials and skilled expertise for installation and maintenance activities. The prices of the solar inverters are increasing periodically due to the increasing cost of its components and machineries.

Solar inverters price variers as per their capacity to convert the electricity and some solar inverters are usually more expensive because they optimize each solar panel individually. The solar inverter is made up of various components such as solar panel, inverter, battery, charge controller and other processing chemicals.

The prices of these components are fluctuating periodically due to increasing inflation. Thus, such factors are increasing production cost of the solar inverter, thereby increasing the selling prices consequently reducing the adaption among price sensitive consumes.

Furthermore, for installation and maintenance of the solar inverter requires skilled labours and trained engineers. The remuneration of these engineers and skilled expertise is very high, which in turn increases the overall maintenance cost. Thus, high installation and maintenance costs the solar inverter is restraining the market growth.
