• Using power optimizer to maximum energy yield• Carry out maximum power point tracking (MPPT) at module level
Traditional String Inverter• Suit for roof where ideal for solar • Simple and most affordable• MPPT per string • Power losses due to module mismatch• Weak panel and faulty panel is not easy to be
identified
Power Optimizer plus Inverter• Suit for roof have shading• Higher cost• MPPT per PV module• More equipment means more effort on
maintenance and replacement• Power monitored from each module individually
