Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard: Solar and Storage Inverter OEMs

Assessment of Strategy and Execution for the Inverter Manufacturer Market

The solar and storage inverter market is a diverse and competitive landscape in which vendors are offering a number of solutions for varying types of applications and customers. While several players offer solar-specific solutions, the clean energy market is trending toward not only solar but also energy storage solutions, especially colocated installations of solar plus storage. From this perspective, this Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard aims to capture the market of manufacturers that seek to provide holistic solutions through their inverter technologies.

Inverters are a key component of solar and storage systems, aiding not only in current conversion but also in maximizing efficiency and control of these assets. With the evolution of solar PV and energy storage technology capabilities, inverter technology has had to diversify into solutions that fit customer needs. Companies that lead the inverter market are often those that can adapt and be flexible with their systems to maximize energy efficiency and control. Market leaders are also able to provide solutions across customer segments from small residential uses to large utility-scale systems. 

This Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard evaluates the strategy and execution of 11 inverter OEMs. Using Guidehouse Insights’ proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked to provide industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies’ relative strengths and weaknesses in the global solar and storage inverter market. These companies are rated on 12 criteria: vision; go-to-market strategy; partners; production strategy; technology; geographic reach; sales, marketing, and distribution; product performance; product quality and reliability; product portfolio; pricing; and staying power.
