Power Optimizer Market, By Converter

Buck converter-based power optimizer market is predicted to value over USD 900 Million by 2025. These are DC-to-DC power converters which step down voltage from input to their output. It is a type of switched-mode power supply typically containing two semiconductors (diode & transistor, although modern day converters generally replace diode with a second transistor, for synchronous rectification) and one energy storage element, an inductor, capacitor or the combination of two.
 

Boost converters are DC-to-DC power converter that step-up voltage from their input to its load. These are also a type of switched-mode power supply containing two semiconductors (diode & transistor) & one energy storage element: an inductor, capacitor or the two in combination. Reduced voltage ripples, effective energy storage, probable energy efficiency for associated products will augment the overall boost converter-based power optimizer market size.
 

Power Optimizer Market, By Region

Stringent norms pertaining to the capping of feed-in tariffs and incentives in the recent years have obstructed solar deployments across European countries. However, regulators have continually been focussed towards decentralized energy storage systems along with PV units through the provision of investment grants. In addition to the existing measures across all the European member states, the European Commission has levied numerous legislative measures with an aim to support renewable integration across the region which in turn will fuel the market penetration.
 

The U.S. power optimizer market is set to expand over 9% by 2025. Solar power is more prevalent, accessible, and affordable across the North American sub-continent than ever before. Solar energy markets are rapidly maturing and solar electricity has been economically competitive across the region when compared to conventional energy sources.
