The Inverter is a Critical Investment

Inverters account for only 10% of system costs but they influence:

30%of Project

MPPT per module:̶ Each module produces maximum power independently of other

modules in the string̶ Underperforming modules do not affect the production of the

whole string

NREL – 2% Added Energy

NREL PVWatts modeling report shows 2% more energy needed due to module mismatchSolarEdge eliminates energy losses from module mismatch using MLPE

BoS Cost Savings

SolarEdge systemTraditional system

Up to 50% reduction in BoS costUp to 60

modules per string

Fewer strings

Less wiring, combiner boxes, fuses, etc.

Less onsite self-crimping at string end

Reduced risk of failure & fire

| 12©2015 SolarEdge

Fewer Strings = Less Wiring

Traditional string inverter: 10.4 m/kW DCSolarEdge system: 2.3 m/kW DCIn megawatt scale systems, the difference can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars

Lifetime System Value

Low cost of ownership̶ 25-year warranty for power optimizers̶ 12-year inverter warranty with low cost extension to 25 years̶ Out of warranty inverter replacement costs 40% less than traditional inverters

Replacement modules̶ No need to keep expensive module inventory – any module on the market is

compatibleExpansion̶ New power optimizers and modules can be utilized in the same string with

older models

Protecting System Owner Investment

When AC power shuts off or inverter disconnects:̶ With traditional inverter, PV wires remain energized with dangerously high

voltage̶ With SolarEdge, PV wires are automatically de-energized to safe 1 Vdc per

moduleThe SolarEdge Advantage̶ Provides superior safety for installers, electricians, and fire fighters̶ Best suited for future insurance requirements

| 18©2015 SolarEdge

Asset Management

Protect your asset with full visibility into system performance & remote troubleshooting for reduced O&M costs̶ Monitoring at the module level – free for lifetime̶ Fault detection pinpointed on a virtual site map̶ Automatic alerts on system issues

| 19©2015 SolarEdge

Increased Uptime: Real-time Alerts

Alerts for modules & invertersCustom settings available ̶ Time of day ̶ Offset from sunrise and sunset̶ % deviation from average

| 20©2015 SolarEdge

Increased Uptime: Remote PID Detection

Strong degradation of power in the modules closest to inverter’s negative poleIf PID is suspected, technicians must climb on roof, disconnect modules, and measure their output voltageUsing SolarEdge monitoring portal, PID problems are quickly detected

Analyze degradation of power in modules via portal

Module voltages measured remotely, no need to send technicians to the roof
