SolarEdge Optimisers and Inverters
Turn your panels into smart panels with SolarEdge Power Optimisers
If you have a multi-faceted roof and/or shading issues, then individual panel optimisation is almost essential.
Power optimisers connect to SolarEdge inverters to increase efficiency at the point of power generated from the solar modules. The optimisers increase the conversion rate and efficiency for DC to DC energy. SolarEdge’s inverter then converts the direct current (DC) energy generated by your solar modules and optimisers to useable energy in the form of alternating current (AC) energy.
The SolarEdge power optimisers increase energy output from PV systems by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each panel individually. Furthermore, the power optimisers monitor the performance of each panel and communicate performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring platform for enhanced, cost-effective panel-level maintenance. Each power optimiser is equipped with the unique SafeDC™ feature which automatically reduces panels’ 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).
Power optimisers essentially split the traditional string inverter into two separate parts:
- The panel optimiser is attached to the solar panel and thus gets the benefits of panel level optimisation under a wider variety of conditions.
- The power generated is transmitted at high voltage DC and the inverter does the DC to AC conversion. Therefore, you get the benefits of panel level optimisation and the cost savings of using a single string inverter.
Panel-level Maximum Power Point (MPPT)
The MPPT per panel allows for flexible installation design with multiple orientations, tilts and panel types in the same string. When working with SolarEdge inverters, the 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. The SolarEdge power optimisers are compatible with c-Si, thin-film, and high current panels, and have a 25-year warranty.
Power Optimisers Key Benefits:
- Superior efficiency (99.5% peak efficiency, 98.8% weighted efficiency)
- Mitigates all types of panels mismatch-loss, from manufacturing tolerance, to partial shading and aging
- Designed for extreme environmental conditions
- 25-year reliability and warranty
- Advanced, real-time performance measurement
- Automatic panel DC voltage shut down for installer and firefighter safety
StorEdge
Modern homes adopting solar storage systems typically need larger solar systems to meet their needs and ensure the battery gets charged. SolarEdge Inverters enable larger systems through efficient use of all available roof space through unprecedented design flexibility, coping with shade, multiple orientations and allowing easy future expansion.
SolarEdge’s StorEdge Backup inverter increases energy independence for homeowners by utilising a single inverter directly connected to the panels and an LG Chem battery to store and supply power as needed. To optimise self-consumption, the battery is automatically charged and discharged to meet consumption needs and reduce the amount of power purchased from the grid.
StorEdge inverters connect directly with the LG Chem RESU H battery offering excellent efficiencies, the addition 1 or 2 LG Chem RESU 10H batteries fully integrated monitoring, ability to oversize PV array, Black-out protection. & black start capabilities.
