Sunil Rathi, director, Waaree Energies while commenting on their plans for the market told to PV magazine that with the solar off-grid inverter market currently valuated at Rs 600 crore, the company aims to capture over 15 per cent of the market share by 2022, thus becoming one of the largest solar inverter players in the segment.
Waaree inverters will be available across India within a year through the company’s robust supply chain. With a strong business plan in place, Waaree expects the vertical to contribute significantly to its revenues in FY 2019-20.
Going forward
Rathi further shared that with the poor transmission infrastructure in select parts of the nation, the solar off-grid inverters will provide respite to residential and commercial units in these areas. Moreover, the post-sale service and maintenance of the indigenously developed product will be made possible through our robust network of 270+ franchise units across the country, added Rathi.
Significantly, the Indian solar inverter market is expected to grow at over 25 per cent annually in the next 5 years. Waaree aims to capitalize on the growth curve and satiate the much needed quality service in the segment.
