How much inverter demand does energy storage increase
Driven by the triple demand of newly installed photovoltaic capacity, replacement of existing projects, and energy storage, we estimate that global inverter demand will reach 463/568GW in 2023/2024, a year-on-year increase of 64%/23%, of which energy storage inverters account for It will increase from 7% in 2022 to 10%/12%, and the growth rate is expected to remain around 20% for many years thereafter.
