POWER OPTIMIZER (SOLPOMAX)
The Benefits of Power Optimizer (*SolpoMax™)
-
01
Power
OptimizingMaximize the Solar Energy under the shadowed environment (Clouds, Trees, Mutes, Leaves…)
-
02
Monitoring and Controlling
Intelligent monitoring for individual Solar PV modules and inverters and provides the soft shut down and hard shut down functions.
-
03
Safety and maintenance
Help increase the life cycle of Solar PV modules since Solpomax help reduce the panel miss match panels’ deterioration by hot spot

Christmas Tree Lamp Effect
If there is just one lamp not working, all the other lamp becomes turned off because it is series-connected. The similar goes for the conventional Solar PV systems since the solar panels are also series-connected.
Usual solar System
All panels are series-connected and there are only 1 MPPT function from the Inverter
-
If there is some shadow over just one panel, all panels’ power generation in that string is reduced to the minimum level in their string due to the current bottle neck
Improved by power optimizer(*SolpoMax ™)
Now, there are individual MPPT for each panels by Solpomax
-
Now each panel has its own MPPT function, there’s no more current bottleneck phenomenon under shadow situation

The features of Power Optimizer (SolpoMax™)
Electricity efficiency Up
- Under shadow area, electricity can be up to 10~50% depending on the shadow situation
- No shadow area, through panel monitoring, can expect 10~20% O&M cost reduction
(panel deterioration(0.5~1% down per year)/deviation, repair time/cost/person…)
Easier maintenance
- Real-time electricity situation monitoring and status reporting
- Detection of failure, out of spec, underperforming modules
- Quick fault location & diagnosis with intelligent software
More Flexibility
- Different types of modules can be mixed into one string(company/model
- Make better use of space, utilizing partial shadow area
Improved safety
- No additional control cabling is required using wireless communication system
- Remote shutdown function reduces string voltage for safe maintenance and
- Emergency shutdown for DC ground fault
Entire Line-up For Solar PV modules
