Chapter 2: Introducing the SolarEdge Power
Optimizers
SolarEdge power optimizers are DC-DC converters connected to PV modules in order to maximize power
harvesting by performing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) at the module level.
Power optimizers with SolarEdge's new IndOP™ (Independent Optimization) technology can operate
without additional hardware interface and work directly with any non-SolarEdge inverter as well as with
the broad range of SolarEdge inverters. Power optimizers with P/N starting with "OPI", "OPJ" or "PxxxI"
have the IndOP™ feature.
Each power optimizer transmits its module's performance data over the DC power line. When using a
SolarEdge inverter, these signals are received by the inverter and can be used for maintenance and remote
monitoring. To monitor the modules when using a non-SolarEdge inverter, add a SolarEdge Safety and
monitoring interface device (purchased separately). Monitoring the optimizers is not mandatory for
generating power.
