SolarEdge S650B Power Optimizer

SolarEdge S650B Power Optimizer is a SolarEdge S650B power optimiser rated 650 W, for one PV module.

A power optimiser is a DC-DC converter that sits behind an individual PV module, between the module and the string. It tracks that one module's maximum power point continuously, so a module that is shaded, soiled, differently oriented or simply weaker than its neighbours no longer drags the whole string down to its own output. The optimiser then presents a fixed, well-behaved voltage to the string, which is what allows longer strings and mixed orientations on the same inverter.

The S-series is SolarEdge's residential range. One optimiser to one module, a single bolt to fix it, and MC4 leads already fitted at both ends.

It also reports each module's performance back to the monitoring platform, so a fault is traced to a single module rather than to a string, and it drops the module's DC voltage to a touch-safe level automatically whenever the inverter or the grid shuts down — SolarEdge call this SafeDC.
