Whitepaper: Module Level Power Electronics

09 August 2022 Cormac Gilligan Shaunagh Rae Maxine Moodie Siqi He

Module level power electronics to be increasingly used in distributed generation solar

Module level power electronics (MLPE) such as solar power optimisers and microinverters are increasingly being used in distributed generation (DG) solar globally. While MLPE technology has been commercially available for over 15 years, it is increasingly being considered in residential and commercial and industrial (C&I) applications due to heightened awareness of improved safety features and improved energy production. The latest generation of MLPE technology is incorporating advanced technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and software to simplify and accelerate installation.

Key takeaways:

  • Usage of MLPE technology is increasingly driven by added benefits such as improved safety capabilities, enhanced energy yield and improved fault detection.
  • The MLPE market has grown rapidly globally, increasing 33% from 2019 to 2021. S&P Global Commodity Insights estimates that MLPE was accounted for over one third of residential solar installations in 2021.
  • A large opportunity exists for greater MLPE adoption as demand from the distributed generation installations is expected to comprise 43% of global PV installations between 2022 and 2025.
  • Digitalization which includes the increased use of AI, software and satellites will help increase the efficiency of installation, operation, and maintenance (O&M) of MLPE technology globally.
