Solar inverters are required to
convert DC (Direct Current)
electricity generated by the
panels into grid-compliant AC
(Alternating Current) electricity

Traditional inverters lose power on all modules due to the
performance of the weakest module
SolarEdge inverters are not affected by the weakest module; each
panel produces the maximum energy

In general, PV systems are safe and
pose no danger
Traditional Inverter Systems are
fully energized as long as the sun is
shinning. Turn the inverter ‘off’ and
you increase the voltage
SolarEdge Inverter Systems shut
down the output of each optimizer
to 1 Volt making the system safe for
installation and maintenance
