Inverters

Ingeteam has expanded its footprint in Australia by announcing it will supply the 243MWp Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project in New South Wales.

The Asia Pacific (APAC) region has accounted for 69% of the 589GW solar PV inverters shipped in 2024, according to a report from analyst Wood Mackenzie.

Energy consultancy JMK Research has forecast 28.3GW of utility-scale and residential solar PV to be installed in India during fiscal year 2026.

At this year’s Intersolar Europe event, held in Munich, Germany, Solavita launched a new hybrid inverter for the C&I sectors.

Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has acquired 1GW (298 units) of inverters from Spanish manufacturer Ingeteam for its 2GW/11GWh Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project in Chile. 

The expansion is 100% compliant with the Indian government's requirement of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Inverters are critical to PV systems but are often over-specified due to inadequate data on which materials and designs optimise performance.

Following reports of 'rogue' communication devices in Chinese solar inverters, the solar industry needs to wake up to cybersecurity risk.

SMA Solar will begin local assembly of power systems for large-scale solar and energy storage systems in the US.

The increasing sophistication of inverters means they have a role in everything from cybersecurity to home energy management.
