SolarEdge P950 – PV Power Optimiser for Vertical Rail Mounting
Description
SolarEdge P950 – PV Power Optimiser for Vertical Rail Mounting
The SolarEdge P950 power optimiser is an advanced device designed specifically to work with SolarEdge inverters, boosting the efficiency of a photovoltaic installation through individual maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for each panel. The device maintains high circuit voltage, resulting in improved inverter efficiency. The optimiser allows monitoring of the performance of individual modules via the SolarEdge monitoring platform, enabling quick detection and location of faults. Each optimiser is equipped with a SafeDC system, which automatically reduces the circuit voltage to a safe level (1 ± 0.1 Vdc) in the event of grid or inverter shutdown or fire hazard — ensuring safety for installers and emergency services. The P950 model is designed for vertical rail mounting and supports modules with a total rated power of up to 950 W, with the option of connecting two modules in series or parallel configuration.
Key benefits for the installer
- Maximum efficiency of 99.5% ensures minimal energy losses during the optimisation process
- Quick installation on vertical rail using a single bolt — shortens time spent on the roof
- Module-level monitoring enables precise diagnostics and advanced maintenance of the installation
- Longer string chains thanks to reduced cabling, fuses, and installation boxes
- IP68 / NEMA6P protection rating and a wide operating temperature range (−40 to +85°C) allow operation in demanding outdoor conditions
