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