Title: Building America Case Study: Photovoltaic Systems with Module-Level Power Electronics

Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1225312

Direct current (DC) power optimizers and microinverters (together known as module-level power electronics, or MLPE) are one of the fastest growing market segments in the solar industry. According to GTM Research in The Global PV Inverter Landscape 2015, over 55% of all residential photovoltaic (PV) installations in the United States used some form of MLPE in 2014.
