SolarEdge Solar Inverters
Known for their long warranties, safety features and monitoring advantages, SolarEdge is a trusted brand that we recommend for our customers with more complex installations.
Sometimes a traditional ‘string’ inverter isn’t the best solution. For example, if there is shading or panels need to be installed on more than 2 different directions/angles. In such cases, a SolarEdge inverter with Power Optimisers is the answer. Since 2009, SolarEdge has taken Australia by storm with revolutionary technology that allows each solar panel to maximise its performance, significantly increasing output in all weather conditions. Known for their long warranties, safety features and monitoring advantages, SolarEdge is a trusted brand that we recommend for our customers with more complex installations. In fact, SolarEdge is the second most common solar inverter installed globally, having shipped over 15 million Power Optimisers and having the most systems installed in the USA (considered to be one of the leading solar markets globally).
HD-Wave Genesis
