Expanding Panasonic’s photovoltaic high-performance HIT®
portfolio, the HIT® S Series Module with a SolarEdge power
optimizer is designed to generate more solar power in all
conditions, including high temperatures, as compared to leading
competitors, due to Panasonic’s industry-low temperature
co-efficient.
“As states across the U.S. follow in California’s footsteps to
incentivize and require solar module installations, energy storage
and energy-efficient upgrades, industry leaders like Panasonic and
SolarEdge must continue pushing boundaries in solar technology
innovation,” said Mukesh Sethi, General Manager, Solar and Energy
Storage Division, Panasonic Eco Solutions North America. “Bolstered
by a SolarEdge power optimizer, the new HIT® S Series smart module
represents the latest advancement for our Photovoltaic HIT®
portfolio, offering industry-leading premium power in even the
highest temperatures, while yielding homeowners more cost savings
and enhanced protection.”
The new HIT® S Series smart module with a SolarEdge power
optimizer offers simplified logistics to accelerate installation.
Designed to specifically work with SolarEdge inverters, the module
offers all the SolarEdge benefits of increased energy production
for faster return on investment, improved design flexibility for
enhanced aesthetic and optimal rooftop design, module-level
monitoring of real-time system performance, as well as enhanced
safety with SafeDC™ technology for module-level shutdown.
Additionally, the SolarEdge inverter, which works with the HIT® S
Series smart module, is future-ready to upgrade to StorEdge® or
EV-charging, helping homeowners increase energy independence.
“As the leading inverter company in the U.S. residential solar
market, SolarEdge is dedicated to working with like-minded industry
leaders who are committed to developing new solutions that make
going solar more affordable and accessible to more people,” said
Peter Mathews, North America General Manager for SolarEdge. “By
launching a smart, optimized solar module with Panasonic, we can
offer the benefits of a fully-optimized solution, while also
accelerating the solar installation experience for consumers
nationwide.”
The HIT® S Series smart module is covered by Panasonic’s 25-year
TripleGuard warranty that provides module protection, including
performance, workmanship and parts. With a guaranteed 90.76 percent
rated power output after 25 years, homeowners can achieve more
energy savings year over year. SolarEdge’s power optimizer warranty
is for 25 years and its inverter warranty is for 12 years,
extendable to 20 or 25 years. The SolarEdge solution includes
remote and module-level monitoring free for 25 years.
Attendees at Solar Power International 2018, Sept. 24 – 27, will
be among the first in the world to see the new high-performance
HIT® S Series smart module on display in Panasonic booth #1520 and
SolarEdge booth #2614.
