String Voltage Optimizer

The Voltage Optimiser is designed to optimize the performance of an entire string of solar panels. They are typically installed at the beginning of a string or between strings and are ideal for large installations where panels are arranged in series. The voltage optimizer manages the voltage and current on the string to ensure it operates at its maximum power point. This arrangement can significantly improve the overall efficiency of the string, especially where the panels experience similar levels of sunlight and environmental exposure.

Advantages:
Cost-effective: The cost per watt of a voltage optimizer is typically lower than a module-level optimizer because fewer units are required for the entire system.
Simplified installation: Installing one voltage optimizer per string rather than per panel can reduce installation time and complexity.
Ideal for uniform conditions: Best suited for arrays where the panels have uniform orientation and receive similar shade and sunlight.

Applications:
Large commercial or utility-scale solar installations.
Rooftops with plenty of sunlight and minimal shadow.
