It tracked the scores from December 2022 until September 2025.</p>
<p>There were 19 manufacturers showing “strong financial resilience,” up from 15 in the previous report, according to the Sinovoltaics analysts.</p>
<p>“The financial foundation of the inverter industry is strengthening, but so is the intensity of competition. This is a sign of a sector moving toward true maturity, where sustainable growth will favour companies with the discipline to manage margins, the scale to control costs, and the strategic flexibility to adapt to variations in regional demand. said Dricus de Rooij, CEO and co-founder of Sinovoltaics, told <strong>pv magazine</strong>.</p>
<p>The top ten scoring companies were listed as follows: China-based <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/09/01/kstar-launches-all-in-one-lithium-titanate-batteries-for-residential-applications/">Kstar Science and Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/09/26/apsystems-unveils-home-solar-and-energy-storage-power-control-system/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">APSystems</a> (Yuneng Technology) and Taiwan-based <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/24/delta-launches-new-solar-inverter-series-for-residential-commercial-pv/">Delta Electronics</a>, followed by China’s <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/05/22/sinexcel-unveils-silicon-carbide-hybrid-inverters-for-residential-applications/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sinexcel</a>, Ireland-based <a href="https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/05/21/eaton-partners-with-chargepoint-on-ev-charging-solution/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Eaton</a>, then China’s <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/01/03/hoymiles-launches-5-12-kwh-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery-for-rooftop-pv-applications/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hoymiles Power</a>, followed by Switzerland-based  <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/05/27/abb-launches-battery-storage-subscription-model-to-address-capital-constraints/">ABB</a>, followed by <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/10/08/sungrow-initiates-hong-kong-listing-targets-126-7-million-raise/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sungrow</a>, <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/press-releases/challenges-and-innovations-kehuas-leadership-in-grid-forming-energy-storage/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Kehua Hengsheng</a>, and <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/08/05/sinovoltaics-releases-latest-pv-inverter-manufacturer-ranking/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hopewind</a>, all China-based.</p>
<p>“KSTAR and APsystems maintain the strongest performance, followed by Delta Electronics. China’s Sungrow has also demonstrated notable improvement, with its Altman Z-score rising to 4.81 since June 2025,” noted the analysts. Indeed, Sungrow entered the top ten, as did Kehua Hengsheng.</p>
<p>Sinovoltaics says a score of 1.1 or lower indicates a higher probability of bankruptcy within the next two years, while a score of 2.6 or greater indicates a solid financial position.</p>
<p>It uses the quantitative Altmann Z-scores to examine corporate income and balance sheet values to make a financial strength assessment of public companies, including a credit-strength test based on profitability, leverage, liquidity, solvency, and activity ratios.</p>

They provide an insight into stability scores of publicly traded manufacturers over time and may be used as part of due diligence, or to help identify financially stable partners, but the rankings do not indicate the quality of PV equipment.</p>
