Ideal for rooftop, carport, and ground mount solar projects, S1000 and S1200 S-Series Power Optimizers are DC-DC converters that connect to every two panels in commercial solar arrays to maximize system production.
By utilizing Maximum Power Point Tracking to increase overall system yield and revenue, Power Optimizers enable panels to operate independently so weaker-performing panels don’t affect others in the string. Mismatch-related power losses due to shading, soiling, or aging are eliminated, delivering higher overall energy production. This includes bifacial panels where electrical losses caused by the varying ground albedo, shading, obstructions, or other rear-side factors can also be mitigated.
Easily meet your most complex project layouts by placing PV panels at multiple orientations, tilts and on different panel types in the same string using Maximum Power Point Tracking.
When working with SolarEdge inverters, Power Optimizers let you increase your design possibilities by automatically maintaining a fixed string voltage. This enables even greater flexibility and minimizes time onsite with fewer, longer strings (up to 23kW per string) and strings of different lengths.
Maximize the protection of people and property with our advanced, built-in safety mechanisms that meet and surpass worldwide PV safety regulations:
- SafeDC™ – automatically reduces high system voltage to touch-safe levels during inverter or grid shutdown
- SolarEdge Sense Connect* – patented SolarEdge technology that monitors Power Optimizers’ connectors, identifying improper connections and possible malfunctions from connector wear and tear for arc risk prevention
- Stay in the know with real-time alerts that help identify and resolve any system issues
Ensure continuous uptime and lower O&M costs with remote, panel-level visibility enabling precise troubleshooting for EPCs and O&M personnel.
Easily track system performance and pinpoint and resolve issues with surgical precision using SolarEdge’s desktop Monitoring Platform and mobile app.
