The SolarEdge power optimiser is a DC/DC converter which is connected to each PV module. They increase energy output from PV systems by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each module.
The power optimisers monitor the performance of each module and communicate performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring portal.
MPPT per module allows flexible design with different orientations, tilts and module types in the same string. When working with SolarEdge Inverters, SolarEdge power optimisers automatically maintain a fixed string voltage, allowing longer strings and strings of different lengths in order to design optimal PV systems.

SolarEdge Power Optimisers
Connected by installers to the PV module and compatible with a wide range of modules
Key features
- 25 year warranty
- Gain up to 25% more energy
- 99.5% efficient
- Removes all mismatch-losses - from manufacturing tolerances to partial shading
- Flexible system design - different panels and orientations can be utilised
- Module level monitoring
- SafeDCTM - 1V per optimiser whenever the inverter or grid is shut down
- Safety for installers and firefighters
The S-Series further strengthens PV safety technology, setting a new benchmark for arc detection and prevention with SolarEdge Sense Connect (available from 2022 via firmware upgrade). With an improved cable layout they are future-proofed to meet evolving PV module requirements.

(1) Rated combined STC power of two modules connected in series (for the P800p, connected in parallel). Module of up to +5% power tolerance allowed.
(2) P730 replaced the P700; P850 replaced the P800s. Each pair can be used interchangeably and can be connected in the same string.
(3) Dual input for parallel connection of two modules; when connecting a single module to the power optimizer (in case of odd number of modules in the string) seal the unused input connectors with the supplied pair of seals.
