Greentech Lead America: SolarEdge Technologies, a
provider of end-to-end distributed solar power optimization and PV monitoring
solutions, and Zep Solar have launched the joint solution of the Zep Compatible
power optimizer. The new power optimizer is seamlessly integrated with the
frame of any Zep Compatible solar module.
The SolarEdge Zep Compatible power optimizer can be
installed, without the need to run grounding wire, and combines its superior
energy harvesting with the labor saving and aesthetic advantages of the Zep
Solar mounting system.
“We have joined with Zep Solar to develop a solution
that will better serve our customers’ needs. Installers who currently enjoy the
flexible design and maximum space utilization enabled by the SolarEdge
solution, will now benefit from an easier installation and a reduction in labor
time,” said John Berdner, general manager of SolarEdge North America.
SolarEdge power optimizers present 99.5 percent peak
efficiency and 98.9 percent weighted efficiency. The power optimizer maximizes
energy production for each individual module offering greater energy yields in
both shaded and un-shaded scenarios and eliminating any form of module
mismatch.
SolarEdge power optimizer’s module-level monitoring
provides full visibility of system performance and remote troubleshooting.
SolarEdge’s Zep Compatible power optimizer can be connected to PV modules on
the ground, allowing the mounting hardware, power optimizer and module to be
installed on the roof at the same time.
Wires are managed by snap-in wire clips offered by Zep Solar,
which further streamline the installation process.
“The Zep Compatible ecosystem is a place where the
benefits of great new technologies combine to offer new levels of efficiency.
The addition of SolarEdge’s cutting edge solution further contributes to this
trend and enhances the growth of the Zep Compatible platform,” said Jack
West, CTO of Zep Solar.
SolarEdge launches inverters with 98% weighted efficiency
SolarEdge Technologies recently launched single phase
solar inverters for the North American market.SolarEdge inverters
have 98 percent weighted average efficiency. The new range of inverters is
designed with an extended operating temperature range of -40°F – 140°F (-40°C –
60°C).
