SolarEdge power optimisers:
The SolarEdge power optimisers are DC/DC converters which are connected to each solar module, turning them into smart modules. DC Optimisers increase the energy output from PV systems by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each panel individually. SolarEdge power optimisers automatically maintain a fixed string voltage, allowing installers even greater flexibility with longer strings and strings of different lengths in order to design optimal PV systems.
TThe optimisers also mitigate all types of panel mismatch-loss, from manufacturing tolerance, to thermal variation, to partial shading and panel aging. Furthermore, the optimisers monitor the performance of each module and communicate detailed performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring platform for easy system performance review and enhanced, cost-effective module-level maintenance.
Each optimiser is equipped with the unique SafeDC™ feature which automatically reduces the modules' DC voltage to a safe level whenever the inverter or grid power is shut down (unless connected to a StorEdge inverter operating in backup mode).
Features:
- Up to 25% more energy
- Superior efficiency (99.5%)
- Mitigates all types of modules mismatch-loss, from manufacturing tolerance to partial shading
- Flexible system design for maximum space utilisation
- Fast installation with a single bolt
- Next generation maintenance with module level monitoring
- Module-level voltage shutdown for installer and firefighter safety

More about SolarEdge:
Founded in 2006, SolarEdge Technologies is headquartered in Israel and has offices in ten other countries around the world including Australia. Today SolarEdge is undoubtedly the global leader in the DC power optimizer market and is traded on the NASDAQ. The company has invented a ground-breaking type of module-level electronics for solar photovoltaic (PV) harvesting and monitoring systems for all shapes and sizes of solar installations, from residential to commercial and utility-scale plants. SolarEdge’s stand-out product solution is their optimized inverter system which maximizes and improves power output at each individual PV panel. Together with SolarEdge’s cloud-based monitoring platform, the performance of your solar system is trackable with ease.
Since beginning commercial distribution in 2010, over 2.5 GW of SolarEdge products have been installed in solar PV arrays in over 90 countries around the world. The company has won several awards for its innovative products, including an SPP (Solar Power Portal) Award in 2015 and the Solar Industry Award in 2014. Manufacturing mainly takes place through a partnership with Flextronics, a global electronics manufacturing services provider. Another exciting partnership was announced in late 2015 when SolarEdge products became compatible with the Tesla Powerwall battery system. SolarEdge offers impressive warranties and excellent customer support through its Australian office.
