Wood Mackenzie’s latest inverter manufacturer rankings note a firm high up on its leader board that’s a surprise inclusion given the challenges the company faces.<\/p>\n

Who Were The Top 10 Inverter Manufacturers In H1 2025?<\/h2>\n

Wood Mackenzie’s Global Solar Inverter Manufacturer Rankings H1 2025 report evaluated 23 leading manufacturers from seven countries. The top 10 solar inverter producers for the period were:<\/p>\n

Eight of the ten manufacturers listed above are currently included on the SolarQuotes recommended solar inverter brands chart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can follow the links in the table to see reviews and ratings of the brands from Australian customers. As for the opinions of Australian installers, we surveyed our installer network and they voted the best solar inverters in 2025<\/a> were from Fronius, followed by Sungrow, and GoodWe.<\/p>\n

Just a quick note on Huawei: it was a SolarQuotes approved brand until early 2024, but then their inverters stopped being shipped here. However, Huawei continued producing solar inverters for the Australian market under the iStore<\/a> brand name; which is a local company selling and supporting the products. iStore is currently on our recommended brand chart.<\/p>\n

But sales in its Home & Business Solutions division continued to be impacted by weak demand and competitive pricing pressure; falling by a whopping 38.7%.<\/p>\n

So, why did SMA rank number three? For the purposes of this report, Wood Mackenzie said it assessed vendors across eight weighted criteria; being:<\/p>\n
