Single Module with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)

  • Use the power optimizer to detect the power generation of a single module.
  • Maximize the power generation efficiency of each module according to monitoring data.
  • Module with poor power generation efficiency does not affect the efficiency of the entire series of modules.

SolarEdge can be installed in multiple angles and directions, also maximize the use of all roofs and ground spaces.

  • Reduce the effect of partial shading due to buildings or trees near the solar plant.
  • Solar modules in series have different quantity, size and lifetime.
  • Solar modules are installed in different azimuths, roofs, and ground spaces.

Module Monitoring Platform

Alarm system integrated, reminds you immediately when unusual failures have been detected.
  • It displays clearly the technology and financial information, including interactive charts and arrangement of solar site.
  • Visualize the output of PV energy, and the consumption of self-use electricity.
  • Module level, serial level and system level data.
  • Complete field analysis, it can automatically schedule monitoring reports and output.
  • You can log into the monitoring system on computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
  • Complete power plant management and improve power plant maintenance.
  1. When a system error occurs, it will alarm and give a notification automatically.
  2. Remote error diagnosis and obtain high-resolution data Instantly, fault analysis.
  3. Comparison of  historical data then displays with charts.

Compared with Traditional Inverter

Traditional Serial Inverter
  • The length of the string is limited.
  • Must comply with the length of the string of each MPPT tracker’s requirement.
  • The modules shaded will affect the efficiency of power generation of the entire string.
  • Can not mix different kinds of modules.
  • The module must be installed with fixed orientation and inclination according to the requirements of each MPPT tracker.
SolarEdge
  • 26-60 modules per string. (up to 12.75 kW)
  • Allows strings with uneven length.
  • Only modules shaded will be affected.
  • Can use different sizes of modules.
  • It can be installed in any orientation and inclination.

How SolarEdge overcomes the limitations of traditional solar systems

Lower BoS costs

Compared with traditional converter converters (inverters), more modules can be installed in each solar string, saving 34% of BoS costs (wires, cables, combiner boxes, fuses, saving up to 50%) SolarEdge solution can save wire requirements, reduce DC system parts and labor (SolarEdge: 45 strings of 34-36 modules; traditional converter/inverter: 580 strings of 20 modules)

Increase system availability
High Compatibility & Warranty

SolarEdge offers a 15-year warranty, which can be extended to 20 years. Low-cost converter replacement, high-competitive converter warranty and free lifetime monitoring, reduce the time and cost spent by the case factory, and optimize the system operation.

Lifetime Income/Quick Return

Provides higher system lifetime value

Lifetime Income/Quick Return

Provides higher system lifetime value

Reduce BoS Cost

Compared to the traditional inverter, each string can install more modules, saving 34% of BoS cost. (Wire, pulling wire, combiner box, fuse, the cost can be saved up to 50%.) SolarEdge solution can save wire requirements, reduce the components of DC system and manpower. (SolarEdge：45 strings with 34~36 modules. Traditional inverter：580 strings with 20 modules.)

Increase System Availability
High Compatibility & Warranty

SolarEdge provides a 15-year warranty, which can be extended to 20 years.

The inverters have low replacement cost, highly competitive warranty with free lifetime monitoring, reducing the time and cost of the plant and optimizing the operation of the system.

Lifetime Income/Quick Payback

Provide the highest value of system’s lifetime cycle.

SolarEdge always puts safety first

Safety mechanisms for installation, maintenance, fire fighting and other emergencies.

SafeDC™ is a built-in automatic voltage shut-off safety mechanism, which eliminates the danger of electrical fire and high-voltage electrocution.

When the system detects a fire, the AC network shut down, or the signal  blocked by an earthquake, typhoon, SolarEdge power optimizer automatically shut down the DC current, then adjust the voltage output of each module to the safe mode of 1V. According to the current firefighting criterion, when the power plant catches fire, firefighters cannot wade across water to extinguish the fire because of the high conductivity of water, so it causes financial losses easily. SolarEdge security mechanisms have passed the electricity arc protection specifications such as IEC60947 and NEC 2014/2017 690.11/690.12 of the US. Ensure the absolute safety of the power plant, the firefighter, power plant maintenance, installation, and prevent accidents such as arc fire or high-voltage power electrocution.
