TRANSCRIPT
Up to 25% More Energy from Your System
Making PV Panels Smarter
Connecting SolarEdge power optimizers to PV panels makes
them SMART PANELS that produce MORE POWER at all times
The SolarEdge Solution
SolarEdge is the proven leader in PV power optimization with more than3 million power optimizers installed in more than 50 countries worldwide.The power optimizers connected to the panels enable them to producemore energy from your system, compared to a traditional system, for abetter return on your investment.
Making PV Panels Smarter
POWER OPTIMIZER
By connecting a SolarEdge power optimizer to a PV panel it becomes a smart panel. This allows:• Harvestofupto25%more
energy from each panel• Constantfeedbackonthe
performance of each panel• Automaticshutdownofeach
panel for maximum safety in case of emergency
MONITORING
By displaying real-time performance data, the monitoring portal allows:• Fullvisibilityofyour
system performance• Automaticalertson
system issues• Easyaccessfroma
computer, smartphone, or tablet
INVERTER
A simpler and more reliable inverter:• ResponsibleonlyforDCtoACconversion,as all other functions are handled separately for each panel by the power optimizers
