Hello solar enthusiasts! Today, I’m excited to bring you news about a remarkable innovation in Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE) mounting—a universal, cost-effective device that can be attached directly to solar module frames. This concept will undoubtedly pique the interest of solar companies, solar developers, and anyone looking to install solar panels for their home.
This intriguing MLPE Mount is designed to secure optimizers and microinverters along the underside of the module frame at desired locations. Now you might be wondering, “Why is this important?” Well, not only does it boost the functionality of your solar array for homes, but it also simplifies wire management and effectively bonds the equipment together in compliance with grounding requirements.
One of the greatest advantages of the MLPE Mount is its compatibility—it can be paired with most solar modules as well as with all kinds of solar attachments, whether in rail-based installations or direct attachment to metal roofs. Additionally, its tab feature ensures robust stability during installation—you’ll not need to grapple with rotation! One hand holds the position of the MLPE device on the frame, and the other tightens the bolt—it’s as simple as that!
I cannot overemphasize the importance of this innovation for solar companies. As Ricardo Barroso, director of research and development, mentioned, their aim was to find a “simple and cost-effective way to quickly secure optimizers and microinverters to PV frames for rail-less solar installations.” Their unique teeth and tab design secures MLPE devices to module frames without rotation, while providing superior grip, electric bonding, and grounding (earthing). Suffice to say, their vision has been realized.
Notably, the MLPE Mount is UL2703-certified, which provides small wonder that this marvel of innovation isn’t just for the big players. Whether you’re a solar developer, an EPC, an installer, or simply a homeowner looking to set up a solar array for home usage, this MLPE mount could be exactly what you need to simplify the process, reduce costs, and ensure optimum solar power efficiency.
Keep watching this space for more exciting and helpful insights on current trends and advanced technologies in the solar industry! Remember, going solar isn’t just about power—it’s about empowering yourself with money-saving, eco-friendly solutions for a brighter and more sustainable future.
