Recently, the photovoltaic sector has experienced significant growth, with an impressive variety of applications. You can see distributed solar systems on rooftops nearby (as shown in a sample project by Yingli), in the mountains outside the village (illustrated by a project from GoodWe), and even in parks (featured in the Changzhou Zhonglou District Shangsufang Community project, sourced from Yamaton).
Behind this expansion is a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, where the photovoltaic industry has evolved from being peripheral to becoming a dominant force worldwide, especially with China leading in global module production (data sourced from Infolink Consulting). Inverters have also positioned themselves at the forefront globally (source: Wood Mackenzie).
However, challenges remain. Quality issues have arisen amid fierce price competition, leading to alarming incidents such as fires triggered by subpar products. In response, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association has announced plans to collaborate with the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute and credible third-party quality inspection organizations to conduct quality checks on photovoltaic modules, particularly within the distributed market. Similarly, the National Market Supervision Administration and local regulatory bodies have initiated multiple rounds of special inspections on photovoltaic modules and inverter products.
On March 17, the Polar Star Solar PV Network published a weekly news review (covering March 10-14, 2025), highlighting potential changes and trends in distributed photovoltaic systems due to new policies. Notably, a major player in the photovoltaic inverter market is facing significant losses and operational difficulties.
Looking ahead, the top ten trends in distributed photovoltaics are anticipated for 2025, following the implementation of two significant policies that promise to revolutionize the sector. In a recent analysis, Polar Star Solar PV Network examined GoodWe’s flagship products, emphasizing their user-centric designs and enhanced experiences. In distributed photovoltaic scenarios, inverters are not just core energy conversion devices; they are also technological products that integrate seamlessly with users’ living spaces.
As the distributed photovoltaic market enters a new phase of precision and inclusivity in technology, GoodWe’s SDT G4 series aims to set a technical benchmark for the residential market.
In Guangdong’s Heyuan city, efforts are underway to improve the “large machine-small grid” issue related to distributed photovoltaics, including the timely removal of inactive renewable energy projects. Compliance with regulations regarding the legitimacy of building projects and the use of certified photovoltaic components and inverters is being reinforced. On March 10, the Heyuan municipal government released an implementation plan for distributed photovoltaics, targeting an installed capacity of 2 million kilowatts by the end of 2025 and 5 million kilowatts by the end of 2030.
Additionally, Midea has launched a new inverter for grid-connected photovoltaics at the Jinan PV Expo, which features ten safety protection systems, high conversion efficiency, and a wide voltage adaptation range. Its various power ratings from 20kW to 40kW make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from distributed power stations to commercial and residential settings.
During the Jinan exhibition, Shuneng Electric showcased its comprehensive commercial photovoltaic solutions, demonstrating its robust product capabilities in distributed inverter technology.
Huawei introduced its intelligent photovoltaic solutions at the Jinan International Solar Expo, showcasing successful projects such as a 35.88MW distributed photovoltaic project at FAW Volkswagen’s East China base, which produces 40 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually, significantly reducing operational costs.
With projections indicating that China will add 118GW of distributed photovoltaic capacity in 2024—an increase of 23% year-on-year, representing 42.6% of the total annual capacity—flexible market dynamics and installation environments are set to enhance the potential of distributed photovoltaics compared to centralized systems.
In the realm of technological advancements, TBEA’s latest 150kW inverter has been deployed in a 1MW distributed photovoltaic research demonstration project in Linyi, Shandong, effectively stabilizing grid fluctuations.
The trends in the distributed photovoltaic market are evident at the Jinan expo, where leading companies like Jinko, Longi, and Trina showcased their flagship products. A notable trend is the increasing integration of energy storage solutions, reflecting the growing emphasis on energy storage in the photovoltaic sector.
In summary, the ongoing developments in distributed inverters and photovoltaic technology underscore the industry’s rapid evolution, leading to new opportunities and challenges.
