Microinverters Guide 2025: Complete Comparison, Costs
Unlike traditional string inverters that handle multiple panels, each microinverter is attached directly to one solar panel (or sometimes 2-4 panels), allowing for independent
The solar microinverter market is valued at USD 5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 26.77 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 18.3%. The string inverter segment is anticipated to grow fastest among product types, with a CAGR of 5.7%.
The global micro inverter market size was estimated at USD 4.67 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 17.34 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 24.58% from 2025 to 2030. The market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the rising adoption of rooftop solar systems and the increasing emphasis on maximizing energy efficiency.
Most solar panel systems with microinverters include one microinverter on every panel, but it's not uncommon for one microinverter to connect to a handful of panels. Microinverters are classified as module-level power electronics (MLPE).
Microinverters are a type of solar inverter technology installed at each panel. Microinverters offer many benefits, such as rapid shutdown capabilities, flexibility for panel layouts, and panel-level monitoring and diagnostics. Microinverters are typically more expensive than traditional string inverters.
