Optimizers
To boost performance and energy production of your solar energy system, a solar power optimizer might be a good solution when using a central inverter. Optimizers allow peak performance for each solar panel regardless of shading or other installation factors. An optimizer is attached to the back of the solar panel. If one panel is partially shaded, it will not reduce the performance of the entire array. For more information, compare the difference between string inverters, optimizers and micro-inverters.
