Chapter 1: Introducing the SolarEdge Power
Harvesting System
The SolarEdge power harvesting solution is designed to maximize the power output
from any type of solar Photovoltaic (PV) installation while reducing the average cost
per watt. The following sections describe each of the system’s components.

Power Optimiser
The power optimizers are DC-DC converters connected to PV modules in order to
maximize power harvesting by performing independent Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) at the module level.
The power optimizers regulate the string voltage at a constant level, regardless of
string length and environmental conditions.
The power optimizers include a safety voltage function that automatically reduces the
output of each power optimizer to 1 Vdc in the following cases:
During fault conditions
The power optimizers are disconnected from the inverter
The inverter ON/OFF switch is turned OFF
The safety switch on the Connection Unit is turned OFF
The inverter AC breaker is turned OFF
