4, Technical roadmap and cost structure

1. High frequency vs power frequency technology

Parameter high-frequency inverse control integrated machine, power frequency inverse control integrated machine

Conversion efficiency 97-98% 92-94%

Lightweight in volume and weight (5kW model<20kg) Heavy in weight (5kW model>50kg)

Cost ratio: 70% for electronic components, 30% for structural components, 50% for transformers, and 40% for electronic components

Applicable scenarios: household/industrial and commercial heavy industry/high interference environment

2. Driving factors for cost reduction

Localization of chips: SiC MOSFET module prices reduced by 30% (CRRC Times/Silan Micro Production)

Scale effect: China's top manufacturers have an annual production capacity of over 10GW (cost reduction of 5-8%)

Technical iteration: MPPT algorithm optimization (3-5% increase in power generation)

5, Regional market characteristics

1. China

Intense price war: 5kW model price drops below 6000 yuan (average price of 8000 yuan in 2024)

Policy driven: Rural revitalization subsidy (subsidy of 1000-3000 yuan per unit)

Technology trend: Integrated light storage and charging (reverse controller+charging station+EMS integration)

2. Africa/Southeast Asia

Urgent demand market: penetration rate in off grid areas exceeds 60% (diesel engine replacement demand)

Price sensitive: preference for models below 3kW (unit price<4000 yuan)

3. Europe and America

High end premium: EHT and other brands have a gross profit margin of over 40%

Certification Barrier: UL1741/CE Certification Increases Costs by 20-30%

6, Future trend prediction

Price decline:

By 2026, the price of 5kW models will decrease to 5000 yuan (due to the popularization of high-frequency technology and chip price reduction)

Function integration:

Reverse control integrated machine will integrate hydrogen energy interface (2027 demonstration project)

Intelligent upgrade:

AI predicts charging and discharging (increases revenue by 10-15%)+blockchain energy trading

7, Investment and selection suggestions

Household scenario:

Preferred high-frequency models (such as Thunderbolt 5kW, high cost-effectiveness)

Pay attention to sodium battery compatibility (reducing battery costs by 50% in the future)

Industrial and commercial scenarios:

Choose 100kW+customized solution (electricity cost<0.3 yuan)

Request to support virtual power plant (VPP) aggregation

Risk statement

Low quality products with falsely labeled power (measured efficiency<90%)

Certification barriers in overseas markets (such as the EU's new battery regulations)

conclusion

The market for integrated reverse control machines will continue to grow with the off grid energy revolution. By 2025, Chinese brands will dominate the mid to low end market, while European brands will monopolize the high-end field.

Priority selection: high-frequency technology route, sodium electricity compatible design, intelligent scheduling function.

Risk avoidance: No UL/CE certified products, excessive reliance on a single regional market.
