Solar energy harvesting supplier SolarEdge recently announced that it was launching a new European office to be situated in Dresden, Germany. SolarEdge is a supplier of various photovoltaic-based power harvesting and monitoring solutions for attaining maximum energy at a lower cost per watt. The company works with industry-leading partners to implant its active electronic solution straightaway into PV panels. Contrary to the centered architectures that cannot optimize the power of each panel, SolarEdge performs MPPT per panel while intercommunicating across active power lines for granular visibility and control. As a result, the SolarEdge systemic approach provides more power from any given installation, does away with design restraints, provides absolute visibility, solves all safety issues and provides anti-theft, all while reducing the cost of energy.  Read more about Global Solar Photovoltaic Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020

SolarEdge’s new Dresden office is going to provide sales and technical support for the company’s solar energy harvesting and monitoring systems and meet rising requirement for PV power harvesting systems to maximize power generation of each module throughout the solar life cycle. The company already has presence in Herzelia, Israel; Palo Alto, California; and Tokyo, Japan.

According to Zvi Lando, SolarEdge’s vice-president of sales, Germany has long played an initiating role in the evolution of the European solar industry and has been an early adopter of SolarEdge’s breakthrough power harvesting technology. Lando also added that SolarEdge is already working on numerous key important alliances including one with Germany’s Schott and Gehrlicher.

This location permits the company to immediately accomplish an aggressive distribution scheme with dedicated support for customers and partners in key markets like Germany and throughout Europe – areas that are rapidly recognizing the spectacular potential to maximize power generation of PV locations with SolarEdge, while bringing down prices and complexities.

A leader in the industry, SolarEdge’s distributed power harvesting and monitoring system tackles common solar performance troubles, such as lost electrical energy output from partial shading and other glitches in the electronic gear that channelizes power between the panels.

The SolarEdge system distributes at the price of standard inverters, but also comes with a multitude of added benefits, including: MPPT Circuit Per Panel (maximizes power harvesting and solves panel mismatch and partial shading power losses); Fixed String Voltage (ascertains operation at the highest efficiency at all times, independent of string distance and temperature, enabling constraint-free site design, full site space usage, shortened installation time and sustainment prices); In-panel Electronics (improves safety for installers, electricians and firefighters); and Power-line Communication (provides a new level of system feedback and supervising capacities including module-level monitoring and theft prevention).
