Optimisers

Optimisers

Optimisers, also known as power optimisers, are electronic devices used in solar panel installations to maximise energy production and improve system performance. Optimisers are installed on individual solar panels to maximise the energy output of each panel independently. optimisers can help mitigate the effects of shading on solar panel systems. Shading on even a small portion of a solar panel can significantly reduce the overall energy production of the entire system.

FAQs

A solar panel optimiser is an electronic device that is installed on each individual solar panel within a system. It maximises the energy output of each panel independently by performing functions such as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and module-level monitoring.

Optimisers improve solar system performance by optimising the power output of each individual panel, even in cases of shading or panel mismatch. They ensure that each panel operates at its maximum power point, maximising energy production and minimising the impact of shading on the overall system.

Yes, optimisers can be retrofitted onto existing solar panel systems. They can be added to enhance the performance of an already installed system.

Optimisers generally require minimal maintenance. They are designed to be durable and reliable. However, regular monitoring of the system's performance is recommended to identify any issues or underperforming panels that may require attention.

Yes, optimisers can work with both string inverters and micro-inverters. They can be integrated into the system design to optimiser the power output of individual panels, regardless of the inverter type used.

Yes, optimisers add an additional cost to the solar panel system. However, the cost can vary depending on the size of the system and the number of optimisers required. It's important to consider the potential increase in energy production and system efficiency when evaluating the cost-effectiveness of optimisers.

Yes, optimisers can enhance system safety. They often include safety features such as automatic shutdown mechanisms that disconnect the panels from the electrical grid during emergencies or maintenance. This helps reduce the risk of electrical hazards and ensures the safety of installers and maintenance personnel.
