Shading is a big problem in residential PV Standard PV system: 50% of roof
Standard PV system : impossible
Partial shading
Femtogrid: 100% of roof
Femtogrid: 100% of roof
Femtogrid power optimizers solve this Substantial cost savings - system design - operation and maintenance Increased energy harvest up to 30%
= >1 year reduced payback time of PV system
And more…. Match all types/quality modules Complete freedom in design & installation Monitoring per module
Improved fire safety 2200Wp system now available
Femtogrid: Power Optimizer (parallel DC-DC 400V )
= UP TO 30% MORE POWER
