What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
Antonio Verdi, co-CEO at FIMER – MA Solar Italy, declares: “The global photovoltaic market remains fundamentally strong, although it is currently entering a phase of normalization after several years of exceptional growth. In 2026, the market is experiencing a temporary slowdown in new installations, mainly driven by policy changes in key regions and increasing price pressure across the value chain.
At the same time, demand remains robust, supported by structural drivers such as rising electricity costs, electrification, and the need for energy security.
This evolving scenario is leading to a more competitive and mature market environment, where efficiency, service quality, and the ability to deliver integrated solutions are becoming key differentiating factors.”
What can you tell us about market trends?
Antonio Verdi adds: “The photovoltaic industry is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a volume-driven market to a value-driven one.
One of the most relevant trends is the increasing integration of energy generation with energy storage and smart energy management systems. In this context, the inverter is evolving from a conversion device into a central component of energy management, enabling optimization of consumption, grid interaction, and system performance.
Another key trend is the growing importance of modular and flexible system architectures, particularly in utility-scale applications, where string inverters are gaining market share thanks to their scalability and grid responsiveness.
At the same time, the market is seeing strong growth in revamping and repowering activities, driven by the need to upgrade existing plants and extend their lifecycle.
Overall, the industry is moving toward smarter, more integrated, and service-oriented solutions.”
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
For residential applications, FIMER continues to offer the Power platform, which includes PowerUNO (single-phase hybrid inverter with power ratings up to 6 kW) and PowerTRIO (three-phase hybrid inverter with power ranges up to 10.0 kW), combined with the modular PowerX, the high voltage modular battery, from 5 to 15 kWh. An integrated solution designed to support energy autonomy, flow control, and consumption optimization.
For Commercial & Industrial applications, the company presents the high-power three-phase inverter PVM-75/125-TL in combination with PVX, the modular storage system in AC-coupled configuration. Available in 75, 100, 110 and 125 kW versions and with up to 12 parallelable MPPTs, this powerful solution is designed to ensure design flexibility, operational continuity, and high efficiency.
What estimations do you have for the second half of 2026?
Matteo Leo, Global Sales Manager at FIMER – MA Solar Italy, concludes: “For the second half of 2026, the market is expected to remain challenging but progressively stabilize.
After an early-2026 slowdown, the sector is expected to gradually rebalance, driven by continued investment in renewables, storage, and new markets.
In this context, growth will be increasingly driven by segments such as commercial & industrial applications, hybrid systems, and energy storage integration, rather than by pure capacity expansion.
For manufacturers, this means a stronger focus on differentiation through technology, reliability, and service capabilities. Companies able to offer integrated and flexible solutions will be best positioned to capture opportunities in a more selective and competitive market environment.”
