What are solar DC optimisers?
DC Optimisers play a crucial role in maximising the performance of your solar system. A DC optimiser basically optimises the DC output of each or group of solar panels. It then sends the optimised DC power to the string inverter that then converts DC current to AC current.
Just like microinverters, DC optimisers allow each solar panel to perform its best production in order to the group achieve maximum production. This eliminates the potential for system power degradation if a fault occurs with any panel in the array.
DC Power Optimisers work with string inverters to enable maximum energy harvest from individual panels. Energy travels from the panel to the power optimiser and then to the string inverter. They are Panel Level Optimisation for string systems.
