Power Optimizer M500
The most efficient and simplest optimizer
The new M600-M system
Proven advantages of the M500 are extended by the monitoring function. The M600-M system will be available starting in early 2025.
Here is the introductory video
Issue:
If one or more modules are shaded, the current that these modules can generate is reduced. Since the remaining modules are connected in series, they can also only carry this reduced current.
The system generates less energy
Solution:
Your BRC optimizer adjusts the current of the shaded modules to match that of the others. You will regain maximum yield.
Recommendation:
You can either equip all modules in the affected string (full optimization) or only the potentially shaded modules (partial optimization) with a BRC optimizer.
Issue:
Solar panels with different orientations in the same string receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the day and produce differing amounts of electricity. When modules with different orientations are connected in series, the current of your system is determined by the weakest part of the system with the lowest sunlight exposure.
Your system generates less energy
Solution:
Your BRC optimizer adjusts the current of the weaker modules to match that of the stronger modules, ensuring you achieve maximum yield.
Recommendation:
Equip all modules in the affected string of your solar installation with a BRC optimizer (full optimization).
Issue:
Solar panels with different tilt angles in the same string receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the day and produce differing amounts of electricity. When modules with different tilt angles are connected in series, the current of your system is determined by the weakest part of the system with the lowest sunlight exposure. Your system generates less energy
Solution:
Your BRC optimizer adjusts the current of the weaker modules to match that of the stronger modules, ensuring you achieve maximum yield.
Recommendation:
Equip all modules in the affected string of your solar installation with a BRC optimizer (full optimization).
Quote from Managing Director Pascal Ruisinger
At BRC Solar, we are united by one thing above all: a passion for photovoltaics and a strong focus on cost-effectiveness. Our vision is to develop innovative products that enable all roofs to be efficiently equipped with photovoltaics. Our company was born out of this passion. Our goal was and still is to create an important component for photovoltaic technology that is flexible and cost-effective for installers. The first step towards achieving this goal was the M500 power optimizer, which prioritized maximum efficiency, maximum independence from other components, and maximum simplicity.
