Current photovoltaic systems - Fundamental Problems
Current PV system architectures have the following drawbacks:
- Shading can reduce output 40%
- Soiling can reduce output 5-20%
- Mismatch between panels can reduce output 15%
- Centralized optimization reduces overall performance to the weakest panel
- Smaller more expensive inverters required for installation variations
SMART-microinverter is the solution
Current photovoltaic systems - Safety Problems
Fire prevention and normal maintenance of solar arrays is currently hazardous with live panels
SMART-safety is the solution
Current photovoltaic systems - Information Problems
Centralized monitoring (if it exists) gives only gross alternating current output at the meter ACCURATE's SMART-system components directly address each of these shortcomings.
