Replacing the standard junction box on a PV panel with a SolarEdge power optimiser creates a smart panel that produces more power. Smart panels optimised by SolarEdge come with panel-level power electronics that increase optimised power harvesting and safety, and provide panel-level monitoring. By using smart panels, installers can simplify purchasing, inventory, and site logistics, while also reducing labour costs. The detachable power optimiser design enables easy serviceability.
Intended to work with SolarEdge inverters for maximum benefits, smart panels can also operate with third-party inverters using SolarEdge's independent optimisation technology, IndOP™.
