PV Power Optimizer

Product Description

Description

The Honeybee and Smartbee Optimizer Series is the MLPE designed to boost solar module energy output by reducing negative effects caused by shading, mismatch loss, different orientations, and other issues. The advanced module-level monitoring enables users to track module operation status in real time and shutdown the system on time in case of any hazards. Making maintenance much safer and efficient.

How does PV optimizer increases modules power output?

● Ideally, the power generated by a series of 10 PV modules is 3000 watts in total, with every module producing 300 watts equally.

Total Power: 300W X 10 = 3000W

● However, in reality, the power of modules could be affected by many causes. In this example, the current of the whole string is lowed by one shaded module, resulting in a significant loss of power production.

Total Power: 252Wx9+230W = 2498W

● GNE Power Optimizer reduces the negative effect by intelligently adjusting the current and voltage of the module with issues, letting all modules work in optimal condition, and increasing the power generation by up to 25%(In this case, 14.7%). Furthermore, because all modules are connected to the system, the hot spot issue is eliminated, which makes the module much more durable.

Total Power: 300Wx9+230W = 2930w(Increase 14.7%)

Functions

Optimization

√Module-level regulation and maximum power point tracking to avoid the barrel effect.

√Module-level shutdown, single point failures do not affect the overall system operation.

Traditional string systems are heavily impacted by the power reduction.

Rapid Shutdown

√ Eliminating the risks of electric shock, fire, and rescue in operation and maintenance.

Traditional string DC voltage ranges from 600V to 1500V, posing risks of electric shock and fire.

Monitoring

√Real-time online monitoring, automatic alarms, and precise identification of faulty modules.

Traditional operation and maintenance lack intelligent systems and rely on manual inspections.

Features

• Track MPPT (Module-level Maximum Power Point), 5-25% more power yield

• Real-time module-level monitoring，warning and locate issues timely.

• Secure solar system, eliminate high voltage danger. Can be shut down rapidly onsite or remotely (Data Processor Required).

• Easy to install on any module, compatible with most third-party inverters. Suitable for both new and existing solar power plants.

• 25 years long lifespan, matches with modules perfectly.
