SolarEdge S440 Power Optimizer

SolarEdge S440 Power Optimizer

The S-Series Power Optimizer offers module-level visibility of site performance and production, helping maximize system uptime and your O&M savings. This also extends to the new SolarEdge Sense Connect feature: Installers and homeowners are automatically alerted if connector overheating is detected and if inverter shutdown was initiated and module-level alerts pinpoint the location of the thermal event, so any faulty connector can be immediately identified.
By simplifying the Power Optimizer cable layout, S-Series installations go faster. With three short cables and just one long one, connectors now “float” close to the S-Series unit itself. This also helps reduce exposure to potential isolation faults, further reducing your time onsite and increasing system safety. We’ve also significantly streamlined our Power Optimizer model range making project design, ordering and inventory management much easier.
The S-Series introduces SolarEdge Sense Connect*, an industry-first feature providing an even higher level of protection for people and property. We’ve extended PV system safety to the connector level by preventing electric arcs, rather than just detecting them at the string level. Sense Connect continuously monitors S-Series Power Optimizer connectors for overheating due to installation issues or wear and tear. If abnormal temperature is detected, an event is triggered and the inverter is shut down, if needed, an alert is automatically sent to the installer, including the issue location enabling fast identification of the faulty connector (location is visible in the Monitoring Platform’s Physical Layout) and of course, SolarEdge SafeDC™, which automatically shuts down high DC voltage during inverter or grid shutdown, is still built-in to the S-Series models as before.
NOTE: It is not allowed to mix S-Series and P-Series Power Optimizers in new installations.
