SolarEdge Inverter Benefits
Record-Breaking Efficiency
SolarEdge power optimizers have a weighted efficiency of 98.8 percent, and their inverter has a weighted efficiency of 99 percent. When combined, these products allow customers to get the most out of their solar array. This string inverter is potentiated with power optimizers, which increase shade mitigation.
A Product Warranty to Match Your Panels
Although residential panels will last 25 plus years, other parts of the system may not. A good warranty will save money and hassle.
The SolarEdge Inverter has a 12-year warranty. SolarEdge also offers an extended warranty for up to 25 years. SolarEdge’s power optimizers are warrantied for 25 years. The power optimizers entail module-level monitoring (if system is paired with monitoring).
SolarEdge: An Inverter for the Complicated Roof
Not all roofs have enough space to string four panels in the same direction. Available space on some homes makes using a traditional string inverter a challenge. That’s why your friendly neighborhood solar installer has found an inverter just for you. The power optimizers enable more flexibility than standard string inverters.
SolarEdge Inverters and Grid-tied Solar
Most homes are grid-tied, which means when the sun isn't out the local utility powers the home. Although a common method, there are some drawbacks to grid-tided solar. One of these drawbacks is that solar panels are not allowed to be on during an outage. SolarEdge inverters have arc fault protection and rapid shutdown to comply with safety standards. The SolarEdge's efficient power conversion and module-level rapid shutdown compliance make it the market's best.
SolarEdge Inverter Technology
Two things set the SolarEdge apart from other string inverters. These include the HD wave and power optimizers.
Solaredge Optimizers
The SolarEdge string inverter uses DC power optimizers. Optimizers get placed on the back of each solar panel.
A power optimizer increases the current coming from the panels. Optimizers increase solar panel placement options, making solar an option for homes with less space.
Solaredge Single Phase Inverter: The HD Wave
HD-wave is a power converting technology. It synthesizes a continuous wave, which reduces the need for magnetics and cooling elements in the inverter. Reducing the magnetics and cooling elements increases efficiency and decrease the weight of the inverter.
SolarEdge Solar PV Monitoring: Now Included with All System Purchases
Monitoring solar production is one of the selling points of the SolarEdge. Its monitoring system can track production at the modular level.
Its standard option comes with a 5-yr GSM card, which is connected via cellular data, enabling module-level monitoring. This option also provides system performance visibility, easy access from computers, smartphones, or tablets, and improved O&M capabilities. Other options include Wifi and Ethernet connectivity.
The monitoring app gives customers security. They have the assurance that their array is correctly producing electricity.
SolarEdge Support for Common Inverter Questions
One of the reasons that Go Solar Group has decided to use SolarEdge is the inverter’s minimal complaint history. However, there are a couple of common questions that customers have.
The main concern for SolarEdge inverters is the ability to view real-time production. Most of the SolarEdge inverters don’t have an LCD screen, which prevents them from providing real-time data on the inverter.
To see current data and compare it to the monitory app data, customers need to load the SetApp to their smartphone. Once they have the app, they can look at their inverter in real-time. Just press view only, scan the QR code on the inverter and establish a Wi-Fi connection between the app and the inverter.
If a customer has forgotten their password, they can click forgot password. An e-mail will then be sent to reset their password. To avoid forgetting passwords, write the password down and keep it in a labeled safe place.
Turning off the Wi-Fi will disconnect the inverter from the monitoring portal. The inverter will reconnect once the Wi-Fi is back on.
Inverters with LCD screens will have a "S_OK" message. Inverters without an LCD screen will have a shining blue light.
There are several different reasons why a solar module may be producing less than the rest. The common possibilities include transportation damage, the orientation of the panel, shading, dirt build-up, manufacturing tolerance and temperature mismatch. If solar panels are not performing the way they should, please contact Go Solar Group; we will determine the issue.
SolarEdge Inverter Competitor Comparison
There are several solar inverters on the market right now, which one to use is dependent on the needs of the customer.
Go Solar Group has decided to use the SolarEdge as its solar inverter of choice. We value its compliance with the most recent electric code, decreased monitoring issues, design flexibility and modular monitoring capabilities.
However, this inverter may not be the best fit for every customer. Here are a couple of things to consider before deciding on an inverter.
Types of Solar Inverters
Two solar inverter types dominate the solar market. These include string and microinverters.
Microinverters are mini inverters attached to each solar panel. Inverted current moves from each solar panel to the home.
String inverters have a ground-level installation process; making them easier to access. The direct current from the solar panels transmits to the inverter, where the current gets inverted to alternating current, and used in the home. Solar arrays with string inverters experience more impact from the shade and limited space than microinverters.
SolarEdge inverters are string inverters with optimizers; making them a hybrid inverter. Optimizers attach to each solar panel, which boosts the efficiency of each solar panel; Increasing monitoring capabilities and decreasing issues with shading and limited space.
SolarEdge Inverter Prices
Prices differ between inverter brands. However, string inverters are often the cheapest.
String inverters are cheaper because they don’t require as much equipment and time to install. However, sting inverters are also less efficient and have shorter warranties.
Both microinverters and optimizer-enhanced string inverters are expensive. However, microinverters are the most expensive, because optimizers aren't as labor-intensive.
