Coenergia is the distributor of the innovative monophase and threephase inverter, as well as solar power optimizers.
 
Solaredge Technologies Inc is an Israeli company founded in 2006, famous worldwide for its smart inverters for photovoltaic systems and smart energy technologies. Solaredge has invented a system that can better manage the energy produced by photovoltaic panels, revolutionizing the solar energy sector. Among the advantages of the Solaredge system: a greater amount of energy produced (+25%), greater safety, lower maintenance costs of the photovoltaic system and more visibility.
Thanks to Solaredge products, the efficiency of the fv system can be optimized, producing more energy and consequently having a faster return on investment. Thanks to the power optimizers there will no longer be power losses due to mismatch of modules, shading, presence of dust or dirt on photovoltaic panels or aging of solar modules.

The SolarEdge Solution
The SolarEdge portfolio of products includes power optimizers, highly efficient PV inverters and a web portal for module-level monitoring and fault detection. The SolarEdge system enables harvesting more solar power from any PV system by effectively removing the known system constraints across the photovoltaic energy space.
 
 
Power Optimizer

The SolarEdge power optimizer is a DC/DC converter which is connected by installers to each PV module, replacing the traditional solar junction box. The SolarEdge power optimizers increase energy output from PV systems by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each module individually. Furthermore, the power optimizers monitor the performance of each module and communicate performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring portal for enhanced, cost-effective module-level maintenance. Each power optimizer is equipped with the unique SafeDC™ feature which automatically shuts down modules' DC voltage whenever the inverter or grid power is shut down.
 
The MPPT per module allows for flexible installation design with multiple orientations, tilts and module types in the same string. The unique SolarEdge architecture allows connection of longer strings and strings of different lengths in order to design optimal PV systems.
 
The SolarEdge power optimizers are compatible with c-Si and thin-film modules and have a 25 year warranty.
 
 
Inverter
The SolarEdge DC-AC PV inverter is specifically designed to work with the SolarEdge power optimizers. Because MPPT and voltage management are handled separately for each module by the power optimizer, the inverter is only responsible for DC to AC inversion. Consequently, it is a less complicated, more cost effective, more reliable solar inverter with a standard 12 year warranty, extendable to 20 or 25 years. The fixed string voltage ensures operation at the highest efficiency at all times (>97% weighted efficiency) independent of string length and temperature.
 
 
Monitoring
Module-level, string-level and system-wide PV monitoring is enabled by the SolarEdge power optimizer. Performance of each and every PV module is measured and communicated across existing power lines in order to maximize solar power harvesting at all times and reduce maintenance cost and time.
The SolarEdge module monitoring portal allows for enhanced maintenance and yield assurance through module-level performance monitoring, fault detection and automatic alerts localized on a virtual site map for accurate troubleshooting. The monitoring web-based portal can be accessed from any browser or from any Android or iOS (Apple) smart-phone or tablet using the Opera Mobile or Firefox web browsers.
