Introducing the SolarEdge Power
Harvesting System
What is the SolarEdge Power
Harvesting Solution?
The SolarEdge power harvesting solution maximizes the power output from any
type of solar PV installation while reducing the average cost per watt. The
sections below describe each of the system's components.

SolarEdge Power Optimizer

SolarEdge power optimizers can be connected to existing PV modules in order to
maximize power harvesting by locally performing Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) at the PV module level.
The power optimizers keep the string voltage fixed, regardless of the length of the
string and of the environmental conditions. Each SolarEdge power optimizer
directly transmits performance data from every PV module over the power line.
Two types of power optimizers are provided by SolarEdge, as follows:

Module add-on solutions, connected during installation to one or more PV
module. P/N: OP250-LV, OP300-MV, OP400-MV and OP400-EV.

Module embedded solution (CSI), is supplied embedded into a PV module.
You may refer to the SolarEdge power optimizer datasheets in order to determine
which power optimizer is most suitable for you requirements.
