SolarEdge Power Optimizer S440-1GM4MRM - 25 year warranty.
The SolarEdge S440 optimizer is a device that optimizes the energy output of solar panels. The S440 optimizer works by optimizing the yield of each solar panel separately, as the yield per panel may differ due to age, shade or orientation. When the solar panels are connected in a string arrangement, this means a loss of yield for the entire string.
The optimizer is installed on the junction box of each solar panel. The optimizer monitors the panel's output in real-time, by measuring the panel's current, voltage and temperature. This information is used to optimize the panel's power by adjusting the DC voltage and current to the panel's maximum power point (MPP).
The optimizer communicates with the SolarEdge inverter, which then communicates with a monitoring platform that provides real-time data and analysis of system performance. The SolarEdge S440 optimizer also offers additional safety features, such as automatic shutdown in the event of an error or fire, and arc fault detection to prevent electrical arcing.
By maximizing the energy output of each panel, the SolarEdge S440 optimizer can increase the overall energy output of the solar array, making it more efficient and cost-effective.
Some of the key features of the SolarEdge S440 optimizer are:
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) : The optimizer uses MPPT technology to continuously track and adjust the DC voltage and current of each solar panel to its maximum power point, ensuring optimal energy output.
Real-time monitoring : The optimizer monitors the output of each panel in real-time and measures current, voltage and temperature. This data is then used to optimize the panel's power.
Increased energy efficiency : By optimizing the power of each panel in the system, the SolarEdge S440 optimizer increases the overall energy efficiency of the system.
Enhanced safety features : The optimizer provides additional safety features, including automatic shutdown in the event of a fault or fire, and arc flash detection to prevent electrical arcing.
Easy installation : The SolarEdge S440 optimizer is easy to install and connects directly to the panel's junction box.
Monitoring platform : The SolarEdge S440 optimizer communicates with the SolarEdge inverter, which communicates with the monitoring platform to process real-time data and analysis of system performance.
Long-term reliability : The optimizer is built with high-quality materials, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
