MLPE analysis: The growth of the module-level power electronics industry has tended to bring more questions than answers, chiefly concerning the cost-performance ratio when compared to traditional string inverter solutions. And with all three types of solutions - DC optimizer, string inverter, and microinverter - each claiming to push the envelope on cost, safety and power output, is there a simple answer to the simple question: Which is best? The weight of literature available online both extolling and downplaying the virtues of module-level power electronics (MLPE) is vast, and the effect can be dizzying for those not fully up to speed with latest industry best practice and opinion.
