Solaredge
SolarEdge developed an intelligent inverter technology that transformed how power is
harvested and controlled in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The SolarEdge direct current
(DC) optimised inverter technology maximises power generation at the individual PV panel
level while minimising energy costs from the solar PV system. The SolarEdge system, which
includes inverters, power optimizers, storage solutions, and a monitoring platform, targets
a wide range of solar market segments, from residential to commercial and small
utility-scale solar systems. The SolarEdge system improves power harvesting and panel
management by deploying power optimizers to each PV panel while keeping the alternating
current (AC) inversion and grid interfacing centralised via a streamlined DC-AC inverter.
All SolarEdge central PV inverters combine the advantages of string and micro inverters and
are specifically engineered to function with SolarEdge power optimizers. This enables
maximum power output due to module-level maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and mitigates
the consequences of module mismatch caused by shade or deterioration. SolarEdge optimisers
reduce power imbalance between panels and come with a 25-year warranty, whereas inverters
have a basic 12-year warranty that can be extended to 20-25 years for a cost. Since its
commercial launch in 2010, SolarEdge has supplied roughly 6.7 Gigawatts (GW) of DC optimised
inverter systems, with products installed in solar PV systems in 120 countries. Consult the
