A star stock delivering 10x returns in three years: growth of renewable energy

【Photovoltaics, Inverters, and Batteries: Global Market Overview】 In 2020, the global photovoltaic (PV) application market was six times larger than that of the United States; by 2024, it is projected to reach nine times the U.S. market size. In 2020, the global microinverter market was valued at USD 7–8 billion, expected to rise to USD 15–16 billion by 2025. The global battery market stood at approximately USD 10 billion in 2020 and is forecast to grow to USD 30 billion by 2025. The total addressable market (TAM) for inverter companies was estimated at USD 17 billion in 2020 and is projected to expand to USD 45 billion by 2025. This indicates a broad and robust industry outlook—but also highlights risks relative to current high valuations. V. Dual-Dominant Growth Amid a Favorable Industry Tailwind 1. “PV + Energy Storage”: Capturing Trends and Expanding Revenue In 2020, combined revenues of ENPH and SEDG totaled USD 2.2 billion—approximately 20% of the global market. Assuming they maintain this 20% market share, their combined revenue could increase nearly sixfold to USD 12 billion by 2024. Even if their collective market share halves by 2024, their combined revenue would still triple to USD 6 billion. According to FactSet analysts, SEDG’s revenue is projected to grow ~48% to USD 2.21 billion by 2023, while ENPH’s revenue is expected to surge ~98% to USD 1.47 billion—still representing only ~7% of the global market, leaving substantial room for further expansion. Microinverters account for 50% of both SEDG’s and ENPH’s revenue. Both companies are entering the battery storage market, where each has potential to more than triple its ARPU (average revenue per user). 2. Increasing Market Share and Average Revenue Per Installation To sustain revenue growth, both firms prioritize geographic expansion, sectoral diversification (residential, commercial, utility-scale), market share gains, and boosting revenue per installation via bundled products and services. SEDG’s growth pace is comparatively slower; it currently serves over 30 global markets and aims to expand its footprint in commercial and utility-scale segments. Its average revenue per installation is expected to rise gradually as it introduces more comprehensive solar solution packages. SEDG’s global inverter market share rose from 10th place in 2014 to 4th in 2017 and then to 1st in 2019—driven by technological advantages. SolarEdge employs a unique DC-optimized inverter system, installing a power optimizer on each PV module to reduce mismatch losses, and has enhanced its offerings with smart modules and battery/storage solutions. Similarly, ENPH improved its global inverter market ranking from 7th in 2014 to 5th in 2017 and 4th in 2019. ENPH launched an integrated microinverter-based small-scale PV + storage system tailored for the Indian market and strategically partnered with Sunrun and SunPower to secure downstream customer stability. As these two core customers scale up, ENPH’s market share in the U.S. residential PV inverter segment continues to rise. By contrast, ENPH not only expands residential storage solutions through microinverter technology but also integrates energy management into grid management solutions—broadening its total addressable market.
