Overview of PV Systems
Solar panels convert sunlight to electricity
Solar inverters are required to convert DC (Direct Current) electricity generated by the panels into grid-compliant AC (Alternating Current) electricity needed by your house

Power optimizers connect to each module; circuit boards maximize energy from panels
Inverters convert DC to AC and connect to the world wide web

More Energy Produced
Traditional Inverters SolarEdge System
Traditional inverters lose power on all modules due to the performance of the weakest module
SolarEdge inverters are not affected by the weakest module; each panel produces the maximum energy

Advanced PV Safety
In general, PV systems are safe and pose no danger
Traditional Inverter Systems are fully energized as long as the sun is shinning. Turn the inverter ‘off’ and you increase the voltage
SolarEdge Inverter Systems shut down the output of each optimizer to 1 Volt making the system safe for installation and maintenance
