Solar and energy storage expertise agency Sol-Ark has chosen Enteligent’s NMax speedy shutdown with optimization platform for its direct-current module-level power electronics product line.
Sol-Ark’s 0900-80V, powered by Enteligent, gives photovoltaic solar adapters with distinctive utility. The 0900-80V serves as greater than a speedy shutdown machine. It combines the essential security function of an RSD with extra options round energy optimization and information monitoring.
The power optimization performance is enabled solely when obligatory, which maximizes energy effectivity, minimizes inside warmth technology and will increase machine longevity. When shading, snow hundreds, differing angles of incidence or different elements trigger variation within the output of PV modules, the embedded microprocessor adjusts the present output of that PV module to maximise the utmost power level monitoring individually and for the string as a complete.
Sol-Ark’s testing signifies that the module gives between 25% and 38% extra power throughout shady circumstances in comparison with rivals’ RSD merchandise.
Panel-level information is transmitted over powerline communications, offering easy set up with out the necessity for a wi-fi community or extra wire runs. The information from the panels, which will be considered on Sol-Ark’s PV Pro monitoring platform or a PC-connected Windows software, permits installers to verify set up integrity, permits service personnel to troubleshoot efficiency points and empowers owners to trace the efficiency of their funding.
Tom Brennan, CEO and CTO of Sol-Ark, says, “Initially, I was skeptical that panel-level optimization would provide any appreciable benefit over the string-level MPPT of the inverter and the PV module diodes but once we tested Enteligent’s technology, we knew this product would be a game-changer.”
