RESIDENTIAL INVERTER SALE
Residential Market Forecast
According to GTM Research, residential solar is the fastest growing market segment at a projected 17% annual rate through 2020. Furthermore, single-phase string inverter shipments are growing 16% annually through 2020. Single-phase string inverters will continue to gain market share as warranties for string inverters begin to expire and replacement opportunities surface. Overall, it’s exciting to see the anticipated growth in residential PV installations in the coming years.
