7. INVERTER’S SIGNIFICANCE
Commercial rooftop
installation cost
breakdown
Inverters account for <10% of the system cost but,
Influence up to 20% of system cost
Manage 100% of system production
Are the “brains” of the system
Mitigate O&M expenses through PV asset management solutions
Inverter selection is critical for the long term financial performance of a PV system

AN EDGE
SOLAR EDGE SYSTEM BENEFITS
11. KEY BENEFITS OF SOLAR EDGE SYSTEM
More Energy Enhanced Safety Lower O&M Costs Flexible Design
Increased energy yield & faster
return on investment through
module-level MPPT
Full visibility of system
performance & remote
troubleshooting
Safety during installation,
maintenance, firefighting, &
other emergencies
Maximum space utilization with
minimum design time

14. BOS COST SAVINGS
SolarEdge system: 0.45 m/kW DC
Traditional 27.6kW string inverter: 4 m/kW DC
In MW-scale systems, the savings can amount to thousands of rupees
SolarEdge: 3 strings per inverter, 44/46 modules per string
Traditional string inverter: 6 strings per inverter, 22/23 modules per string
Included DC cables
Additional DC cables
15. FUTURE COMPATIBILITY
Be prepared for future costs than can affect your balance sheet:
Lower-cost inverter replacement after warranty
~40% less than traditional inverters
Module replacements – with SolarEdge there is no need to keep
module stocks. Any module available in the market would fit
Expansion – new power optimizers and modules can
be utilized in the same string with older models
Products are certified as resistant to ammonia
corrosion in agricultural areas
16. ASSET MANAGEMENT
Protect your asset with full visibility into system performance
& remote troubleshooting for reduced O&M costs
Monitoring at the module level – free for lifetime
Fault detection pinpointed on a virtual site map
Automatic alerts on system issues
17. ASSET MANAGEMENT
Alerts for modules & inverters underperformance
Know before you go:
Identify underperformance
Use charts to analyze underperformance
Schedule maintenance according to problem severity and
effect on system performance
Fewer trips to site, less time spent on-site
18. LIFETIME REVENUE
Power optimizers enable installation of:
Modules in partially shaded areas
Strings of uneven lengths
Strings in multiple orientations and different roof facets
Traditional Inverter:
312 kWp
SolarEdge System:
396 kWp
= 27% added power
Flexible site design > More modules on the roof > More power
19. LIFETIME REVENUE
MPPT per module:
SolarEdge is designed for higher energy yield
Each module produces maximum power independently
of other modules in the string
Underperforming modules do not affect the production
of the whole string
Approximately 3% higher energy yield *
20. MODULE MISMATCH = POWER LOSSES
The SolarEdge solution minimizes power losses by:
Optimizing power production per panel
Alerting and pinpointing underperforming panels
Missing production per year – Worst case [€/kWp]
Missing production per year – Average case [€/kWp]
24. COMPONENTS OF A SOLAR EDGE SYSTEM
POWER OPTIMIZERS
When you install a SolarEdge power
optimiser to a solar panel, it becomes a
smarter panel. This means that:
1. You can generate more electricity from
each panel
2. Check the performance of each panel
independently.
3. Automatically shutdown each solar panel
for maximum safety.
INVERTER MONITORING PLATFORM
A Solar Edge inverter is more reliable as it’s
design is simple meaning less to go wrong:
1. Simple function, only convert DC to AC,
the rest is sorted by the optimisers
2. Neat, tidy, small and robust
3. Longer warranty periods
4. Better efficiency.
By having the ability to monitor real-time
generation, the monitoring systems means:
1. You have full ability to view the
performance of your solar panels
2. Automatic alarms and alerts on technical
issues
3. Access information anywhere you have
internet signal, from a computer, smart
phone or tablet
