Market Definition

A solar inverter is plug-and-play equipment that transforms direct current generated by a single module into alternating current in photovoltaic installations. Solar inverter, unlike conventional central inverters, operate on module level power electronics (MLPE), which involves power conversion at the module level. As a result, the negative impacts of module mismatch are reduced, and the system's overall efficiency is improved.

Solar battery is a storage system which stores energy from a solar PV system for later use. There are several types of solar batteries such as lithium-ion, lead acid, Nickel cadmium and many others. These battery technologies are used in various applications, especially for commercial purpose and is integrated with solar panels and photovoltaic cells.

India Solar Inverter and Battery Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increase in installation of solar PV in various end-user

The solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts solar energy into electricity, and over the years, the need for electricity has been increasing across the globe. The solar PV electricity generation is important in electricity generation and is demonstrated as the second-largest absolute generation growth of all renewable technologies in 2021 by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Similarly, solar PV installations are increasing through the new trend of residential rooftop installations and solar parks or farms. Household rooftop solar in India is seeing gradual improvement as it supports zero emissions and better and innovative financial models. This will help individuals to cut down the expenses for the energy consumed daily. Such benefits are boosting residential rooftop installations, and even the Indian government is willing to support solar installations in India through some incentives and subsidies. This will help solar system manufacturers to boost the market.

• Rise in integration of solar and storage technologies

Solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources used to generate electricity in India. Solar energy is not always produced at the time when energy is required most. Solar energy has significant day and seasonal peaks, especially during summer afternoons and evenings. Solar energy production can be affected by seasons, time of day, clouds, dust, haze, or obstructions like shadows, rain, snow, and dirt. Sometimes energy storage is co-located with or placed next to a solar energy system. Sometimes the storage system stands alone to help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. Thus, there is a huge requirement to develop an energy-efficient ecosystem through better and more advanced storage systems.

Opportunities

• Rise in need for sustainable & clean energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Energy consumption has increased across the country, so the nation has to meet the demand without disturbance. Thus, electricity production capacities have to be boosted and accordingly there is a requirement for sustainable energy production solution because energy production through fossil fuels is responsible for more than a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, which cause pollution and climate change.

Moreover, India's energy generation is majorly dependent on coal through which 70% of electricity is produced and is responsible for 60% of particulate matter emissions, over 80% of mercury emissions, over 50% of SO2 emissions, and 30% of NOx emissions. This is why the government of India has announced ambitious targets to reduce emissions intensity through adopting sustainable and renewable energy source of production.

Currently, India has 26.53% share of renewable energy for generating electricity and is planning to increase the renewable energy facilities to cut overall emissions through some initiatives and project installations.

Restraints/Challenges

• Higher installation costs of solar-inverters

Although solar inverters have significant advantages over traditional central and string inverter systems, installation and maintenance costs are one of the major problems limiting the market. Solar inverters are high-end goods with a high-end price tag. One solar inverter per module, a communication gateway, pricey AC trunk cables, and bespoke tools make up a solar inverter system. The number of inverters that can be connected to the same cable trunk is limited due to the limited current of an AC trunk line.

However, the solar inverters are used when there is electricity generation through solar panels, thus installation of solar panels cost very high furthermore, there will be the requirement for solar inverter and other electronic devices, which will increase the cost structure.

• Complicated design structure of solar inverter

Solar inverter and battery technologies are becoming increasingly popular as a choice of grid connection for small-scale photovoltaic systems are required to harvest direct current (DC) electrical energy from PV modules and convert it to alternating current (AC). These systems consist of many hardware components such as a fly back converter, switches, filters, and other electronic components.

Moreover, typical design constraints apply to any system and are modified, expanded and personalised for a specific application. In any PV (Photovoltaic) system, multiple solar modules are connected in series and parallel to provide voltage output. Combinations of these panels are then connected to a single centralized inverter to yield certain power modules. As each inverter is independently located below a solar panel, a communication bus and a common monitoring system are required as there is an on-board display system like in string inverters. Hence, the complicated design structure of the solar inverter imposes a challenge for the market to grow.
