SolarEdge String Inverter w/ Power Optimizers

Features, Advantages & Disadvantages of SolarEdge Home Inverter System

SOLAREDGE INVERTER SOLUTION – FEATURES

  • The SolarEdge power optimizer is a DC/DC converter which is connected by installers to each PV module
  • The SolarEdge power optimizers increase energy output from PV systems by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each module individually.
  • Power optimizers monitor the performance of each module and communicate performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring portal
  • Each power optimizer is equipped with the unique SafeDC™ feature which automatically shuts down modules' DC voltage whenever the inverter or grid power is shut down
  • Power Optimizer Inverter Solution combines the best advantages of other Inverter Systems without many of the drawbacks

SOLAREDGE POWER OPTIMIZER – ADVANTAGES

  • Increases System Production by 30%
  • Works with multiple roof solar arrays
  • Works Well With Shading, very important with Florida clouding
  • Powers weaker panels to perform at maximum levels. Instead of only as strong as the weakest link, this system improves weaker panel performance to match high performance level panels
  • Power Optimizers are DC charged so they do not have a capacitor that can fail
  • No excess or complicated equipment on the roof
  • Delivers panel level monitoring as well complete system performance monitoring

SOLAREDGE POWER OPTIMIZER INVERTER SOLUTION – DISADVANTAGES

  • More expensive than a straight solar string inverter but less expensive than micro inverters.
  • I know can't seem to come up with any other disadvantages. Simply put this is the greatest advancement in solar industry since micro inverters
