At TB Electrics we have installed Solar Edge products since we began installing solar panels back in 2011. We found that their products were superb and had already stood the test of time - one of the major differences is their groundbreaking power optimisation technology. Unlike traditional solar pv systems with a string inverter, that are limited by the performance of the weakest solar panel in the array, Solar Edge's power optimisers ensure that each panel operates at its maximum potential at all times, whether there is cloud coverage on one panel, shade from chimney, dirt or a bird droppings ! This not only maximises energy production but also improves system reliability and durability, ultimately leading to higher energy yields over the years and lower maintenance costs. You can see below the difference the solar optimisers make when there is shade on one panel

One of the standout features of SolarEdge products is their industry-leading monitoring and control capabilities. With the SolarEdge monitoring platform, users can track the performance of their solar system in real-time, allowing for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting. The ability to pinpoint issues quickly not only ensures optimal system performance but also enhances overall peace of mind for system owners. As we are trusted installers with Solar Edge we can also help you with any issues you have with your system - troubleshooting remotely and attending site to replace parts under their warranty, which we find is second to none

 SolarEdges additional safety features are abundant:  SafeDC - Ensures the PV system’s DC voltage is reduced to touch-safe levels during grid failures or when the inverter is shut down, within five minutes. Rapid Shutdown - Allows fast discharge of conductors to safe voltage levels, within 30 seconds, this is already mandatory in the USA in accordance with NEC 2014, 2017 and 2020 and insurance Companies in the UK are starting to ask about this as solar becomes more mainstream for many businesses Arc Fault Detection -  and Prevention Provides the ability to detect and terminate an electric arc, through automatic inverter shutdown for string lengths up to 400m. Enabled in over 1 million SolarEdge inverters worldwide Built-in Temperature Monitoring -  The Thermal sensors detect faulty wiring that can potentially cause electric arcs. Module-Level Monitoring -  This sends automatic notifications on system issues, preventing potential safety risks.  All in all one of the safest Solar PV systems you can have

Another key advantage of SolarEdge products is their compatibility with energy storage solutions. By integrating a SolarEdge inverter with a battery storage system, users can store excess energy generated during the day for use during peak demand periods or at night. This not only increases energy independence but also maximizes the economic benefits of solar energy by reducing reliance on the grid.

Furthermore, Solar Edge products are renowned for their versatility and scalability. Whether you are a homeowner looking to install a small residential system or a commercial entity seeking to deploy a large-scale solar array, SolarEdge offers a range of solutions to meet your specific needs. The modular design of SolarEdge products allows for easy expansion and customisation, ensuring that your solar system can grow with you as your energy requirements evolve.

The SolarEdge products are also backed by a solid reputation for quality and reliability. With a track record of innovation and excellence, SolarEdge has established itself as a trusted name in the solar industry, earning the confidence of both consumers and industry professionals alike. With a fabulous monitoring system that shows how each panel is performing at any point in time, you know you are making the most of every bit of daylight to power your home or business
