SolarEdge Commercial Solutions
Increased energy production
All panels perform at maximum output
Flexible design
Larger string lengths
Multiple azimuths and tilts on the same string
Shade only impacts the affected module
Safety and code compliance
NEC 2017, 2020 compliant
Redesign on the fly
Module-level monitoring and performance data

Grid Interaction
String Inverter
Reduced energy production
Strings track to lowest performing module; mismatch, shading, dirt, etc.
Less flexible design
Limited string lengths
Must always face the same direction, same pitch, same module wattage
Shade must be avoided
Unforeseen redesigns
No module-level monitoring, or performance data
Safety and code compliance issues
High voltages at the module level whenever the sun is out (even when inverter/AC power is off)
Traditional Inverter Limitations
AdvantEdge: Protecting Your PV Investment
9
AdvantEdge was created to further protect PV investments, giving system stakeholders even greater peace of mind
EPCs can benefit from improved, O&M with significantly fewer costs
System owners are protected against production losses caused by power optimizer downtime
Program Benefits:
SolarEdge covers potential production loss resulting from power optimizer downtime
All power optimizers in an eligible site are covered for up to six months per power optimizer
Enrolled sites will be covered for a two-year period*
* Actual program duration may be longer (up to 2.5 years) as the program end date is either June 30th or Dec. 31st, whichever comes first once the first 2
years have elapsed

AdvantEdge: How is Energy Compensated
18
The EPC is eligible for labor compensation resulting from power optimizer replacement, for up to two site visits per year
Energy loss compensation is calculated (automatically through the monitoring system) based on the site Feed-in Tariff per kWh, provided by the customer during the registration process.
The coverage year is divided into 2 payment periods:
January 1st – June 30th
July 1st – December 31st
The AdvantEdge Report, containing all relevant power optimizer coverage details, is available for download at any time via the SolarEdge monitoring platform
Following the end of each coverage period, The AdvantEdge Site Report is sent to the customer, detailing all energy loss compensation details
Customers can then claim any compensation entitled by submitting an invoice directly to AdvantEdge
EPCs’ are responsible for settling any and all payments due to the system owner
