The SolarEdge power harvesting system includes PowerBoxes, which are PV module-integrated power optimizers, multi-string solar PV inverter, and solar monitoring software. This system enables production of up to 25% more energy from the PV installation, while reducing costs and complexities, the companies claim.

The company claims that SolarEdge system offers improvements over existing ones, especially in optimizing power output from each module, regardless of adjacent module performance.

The SolarEdge system allows installers and system owners to benefit from constraint-free design, real-time module-level monitoring, improved maintenance at reduced cost, optimal site-area utilization, theft prevention mechanisms, enhanced safety and extraordinary reliability, which all contribute to faster return on investment, according to the company.

Mark Norman, CEO and managing director of Solco, said: “Solco welcomes this strategic agreement with SolarEdge, who has proven to be a reliable and committed partner. Our partnership reflects the intensive quest by both companies to create highly efficient and cost-effective PV systems.

“The combination of SolarEdge technology and Solco’s technical expertise will significantly enhance the energy output of solar power systems installed in Australia. We expect customer response to be immediate, demonstrating the viability and effectiveness of this collaboration, and the abilities of this new solution.”
