Global solar micro inverter market was valued at US$ 977.5 Million in 2018 and is anticipated to reach US$ 5,604.6 Million by 2025 displaying explosive CAGR of 28.4% over the forecast period 2019-2025.   Energy supply from renewable sources forms an essential part of energy distribution, particularly when there are issues pertaining to sustainable environment. In this regard, microinverters are of great help. Traditional solar systems comprise a single inverter and in case of any failure of inverter, there remains no backup of energy transfer. Therefore, microinverters are an alternative energy source. A solar micro-inverter, or simply microinverter, is a plug-and-play device used in photovoltaics, that converts direct current generated by a single solar module to alternating current. Unlike conventional string/central inverters, a microinverter works on Module Level Power Electronics i.e. power conversion takes place at individual module level. This mitigates the negative ef...
