SolarEdge to Unveil Revolutionary Power Harvesting System at Intersolar Munich 2009

CEO and Co-founder Guy Sella to Present “Breakthroughs in Distributed DC Architecture” at Pre-conference PV Industry Forum
Intersolar Munich 2009

SolarEdge Technologies, an innovative solar power harvesting start-up, today announced the company’s highly anticipated PV energy harvesting system will be revealed for the first time at Intersolar Munich 2009, taking place next week from May 27-29. Leading up to the conference, SolarEdge Chairman, CEO and Founder Guy Sella will give a featured presentation on May 26 on the topic of “Breakthroughs in Distributed DC Architecture” at the PV Industry Forum.

While the solar industry has taken enormous strides to reduce the dollar per watt cost of PV-generated electric power through increased cell efficiency and other innovations, traditional PV installations still suffer from a broad range of limitations. Centralized architecture and standard design constraints today cause power loses on average of twenty-percent per solar field and lead to poor roof utilization, fire and maintenance safety issues, and ineffective panel theft prevention measures. In addition, current architectures do not enable module and system-level monitoring for issue identification and performance tracking.

At Intersolar 2009, SolarEdge will introduce the first PV panel-integrated power harvesting system, which can be embedded in practically all types of solar panels available today. The module and system-level combined solution enables maximum power generation throughout the solar lifecycle while dramatically reducing complexities and costs. System owners enjoy significant power increases while installers are able to reduce installation costs and maximize roof utilization, all resulting in lower dollar per watt electrical power.

“We are very pleased to be working with leading companies in the market and are excited to finally show the industry our unique holistic approach,” said Guy Sella, chairman, CEO and founder of SolarEdge. “By addressing the problems that the industry has overlooked or considered unavoidable, SolarEdge reduces the lifetime cost of PV energy, thus making PV more affordable and paving a faster way to grid parity.”

About SolarEdge

SolarEdge is a provider of smart, holistic PV power harvesting and monitoring solutions for maximum energy and cost efficiency. The company works with industry-leading partners to embed its active electronic solution directly into PV panels. Unlike centralized architectures that cannot optimize the power of each panel, only SolarEdge performs MPPT per panel while communicating across existing power lines for granular visibility and control. As a result, the SolarEdge systemic holistic approach provides more power from any given installation, eliminates design constraints, provides complete visibility, solves all safety issues and provides anti-theft without increasing power harvesting costs.
