Here we’ll consider the benefits of using one of our premium partners in Solar PV, SolarEdge, and the additional benefits to their systems that meet the demands of our commercial and industrial customers, particularly when it comes to fire risk, safety and insurance stipulations.
Who is SolarEdge?
SolarEdge is a global leader in smart energy, having revolutionised sustainable energy with a ground-breaking intelligent inverter solution that decreases energy costs while maximising energy production.
From project design through to commissioning and advanced asset management capabilities, SolarEdge has the tools to ensure optimal site performance over the system lifetime, with field support and service fleets available across Europe.
SolarEdge is committed to a sustainable world and is in full compliance with international standards on quality and control, ethical conduct, and environmental protection.
SolarEdge Solar PV for maximised revenue and reduced costs
Maximised System Revenue
The SolarEdge solution offers better Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) over the system’s lifetime by maximising yield and reducing costs. It maximises power generation at the individual module level, which leads to a higher lifetime revenue from PV systems. When combining greater yield performance with additional savings in Balance of System, Operation & Maintenance and inverter replacement costs, SolarEdge ensures higher value to the customers during the asset lifetime.
Reduced BoS (Balance of System) Costs
SolarEdge Power Optimisers enable more power per string. This means longer and fewer strings when compared to traditional string inverter systems. The reduction in wiring, combiner boxes and fuses can result in up to 50% BoS savings.
Greater O&M Savings
In addition to installation cost savings, lifetime maintenance costs are also lower with SolarEdge. The module-level monitoring and remote troubleshooting capabilities transforms O&M from a manual, resource-intensive process to an automated, at-a-glance service, ensuring that every plant is performing to the best of its ability at all times.
SolarEdge – A world leader in solar safety
The SolarEdge solution is synonymous with safety, with over 50% of Fortune 100 companies having installed SolarEdge systems on their rooftops. Their comprehensive suite of safety-related technology helps prevent thermal events before they occur, meeting and surpassing the most stringent international PV safety standards. Solar insurance companies around the world also favour the SolarEdge solution for added financial security.
Setting the standard for solar cybersecurity – Just like solar safety, solar cybersecurity is non-negotiable. By partnering with SolarEdge you get extra protection, throughout the entire PV system lifetime. Our tiered approach to cybersecurity is aimed at protecting data integrity, communications, and business operations from site commissioning through to production.
To safeguard system connectivity, functionality, and customer data, SolarEdge follows the Cyber Informed Engineering (CIE) principle, embedding information security mechanisms into our products from the initial design stages. We continuously adapt and enhance our solutions to align with evolving demands and regulatory standards.
SolarEdge – Optimised for maximum energy yield in commercial solar PV installations
Common in commercial installations, module-level mismatch occurs when PV modules in a string have different Maximum Power Points (MPPs), usually the result of soiling, shading, uneven terrain, or module aging. This decreases the energy yield of the entire string.
With Power Optimisers connected to every two modules, the SolarEdge solution mitigates power losses caused by module mismatch, resulting in maximum production from each module. The underperformance of one will not affect the rest of the system.
The Solar Array utilises optimisers on a panel-by-panel or bi-panel basis so, if one panel is affected by shading/soiling etc, other panels in the string remain unaffected.
Energy optimisation across the ecosystem
SolarEdge optimises energy generation, storage and usage by orchestrating decision-making across all site energy assets, from the fleet to the device and module level, via the SolarEdge ONE for C&I platform.
Able to process vast amounts of data every second, the cloud-based ONE platform incorporates customer definitions and market conditions to ensure each component of the SolarEdge ecosystem is performing at its peak. This helps to save costs, lower operational expenses and meet ESG goals throughout the PV system lifetime.
