Description

The US grid-forming inverters for microgrids market is anticipated to grow at a 7.1% CAGR, reaching USD 2,647.3 million by the end of 2032. Grid-forming inverters are the “virtual generator” of the microgrids, i.e., these are the devices that set the voltage and frequency base for the entire network. They make the system more stable. Microgrids become more reliable and can accommodate higher renewable energy shares.

Microgrid spreading all over the U.S. is the reason for the fast pace of grid-forming inverters adoption. This trend, which is mainly driven by the need for resilience and the desire to achieve clean energy goals, is supported by these advanced systems that preserve grid stability, handle decentralized power, and enable solar and wind integration. Besides that, the growth of the inverter market is further solidified by a range of federal incentives and increased defense-led deployments.

Key Company Development
ABB, through its acquisition strategy and innovative approach, is deepening the breadth of its renewable energy and electrification portfolio. The 2024 acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business is a step further toward the company's transformation into the renewable energy conversion sector with advanced engineering capabilities. In addition, the company launched an industry-first 3-level inverter for electric buses and introduced PowerExchanger technology, which makes it possible for UPS systems to not only stabilize the grids but also cut down on operational energy costs.

Major Competitors
Key competitors in the US grid-forming inverters for microgrids market include ABB Ltd., Schneider Electric, Siemens AG, General Electric (GE), Eaton Corporation, Tesla Inc., Hitachi Energy, SMA Solar Technology AG, Enphase Energy, Inc., and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc.
