What is a solar power optimizer?
Solar power optimizer selects the best voltage output for one or more solar panels that it is connected to. It is also used to realize per panel monitoring of voltage current from each solar panel.
When do you need to use a solar power optimizer?
If you have partial shading on your solar panels, you can use a solar power optimizer to help keep the output of all panels as high as possible. Another good use case is if you have requirements for a panel-level monitoring.
Cost of solar power optimizer is lower than micro inverters, so if you have existing string inverter and due to budget cannot switch to micro inverters, a solar power optimizer is a good choice.
How to use a Solar Power Optimizer?
Clamp the solar power optimizer to a suitable rail and connect it to one or more solar panels as per the connection diagram or manual included in the device. For monitoring purposes, you also need a data logger or aggregation device.
