AndSolar optimizer

AndSolar® optimizers are based on a concept named current boosting (buck-only):

  • Below Vmpp: the current is "boosted" along an (Impp * Vmpp)  curve (hyperbola), up to a maximum current. This is achieved, for a given current I, by a Voltage diminution corresponding to the available Pmpp (Vout = Pmpp / I). This allows each modules to be used at their maximum power point, while ensure each optimizer outputs the same current.
  • For voltages over Vmpp, the optimizer's output follows then IV curve of the module.

When using a AndSolar optimizer, we must check that the PV module is compatible with the input specifications (Voltage, Current, Power) of the device. Compatible optimizers are highlighted in green in the optimizers list.

Sizing conditions for the number of modules in a string are identical as for usual PV arrays.

AndSolar optimizers are rated to 1500V.
