Power Optimizers

What are Power Optimizers for Solar Inverters?

Power optimizers are additional devices used in Solar Power generation to convert DC to DC (that’s right, not a typo, DC to DC). Power optimizers tune the performance of individual panels in the Solar power plant. 

Optimizers are required because the photoelectric effect does not produce the same energy in all the panels equally. Factors like the shading of panels due to clouds and dust can result in non-uniform distribution of power.

What are the types of Power Optimizers for Solar Inverters?

Module-level Power Optimizer: Power optimizers at each module level optimize the energy distribution to negate the effect of peculiar conditions.

Sometimes the panels don’t operate at the optimal power efficiency. In that case, the module measures the maximum power point tracking. MPPT helps to optimize the DC characteristics to get the maximum possible power output.

In Solar Power plants, the panels get connected in series. Therefore the reduced output from a few panels can lead to the reduced power output power of the whole system. 

Sometimes up to 50% of power is lost. Power optimizers become critical for not only optimizing the output DC power. But also save the system from power loss of up to half of the capacity.

How do the Power Optimizers for Solar Plant work?

Large Solar plants face an efficiency dip in power production and delivery of the power to the load. Solar Inverters convert DC to AC for the consumers. 

The DC input to the inverters is not consistent without an optimizer. Power optimizers use maximum power point tracking to make the DC power output from panels optimal.

This optimal DC power is fed to the Solar Inverters to get the efficient flow of current at optimal levels. Smaller DC voltage is hard to convert into AC voltage. Power Optimizers are necessary, especially for big Solar power plants.

Wholesalers

Solar Products Wholesalers 

Wholesaling refers to buying some products or goods directly from its manufacturer usually at a discount and then reselling it to the retailers for a comparatively higher cost than the original. Basically, wholesalers handle products and package them in small quantities and then sell them to retail customers, either for commercial or personal use. 

Many industries have wholesalers, and that will not skip the solar industries. Nowadays, many solar wholesale stores/firms are operating across the globe, making it much easier for retailers to go solar. Sometimes retailers find it hard to reach direct manufacturers of solar products because some companies do not have their solar stores/shops in public, with that they are not also offering solar products per piece. Through wholesale solar stores/shops, these individuals can easily buy the solar products that they need to replace or maintain their solar systems. 

If you are in need of solar product suppliers for an individual purpose, you may visit some solar outsourcing marketplace to get an updated list of solar wholesalers near your location. There are many solar platforms that provide enough information and data about the solar industry in your region, including all the reliable solar wholesalers in town.

Vietnam

 Vietnam’s Solar Market Outlook

Vietnam, a developing country in Southeastern Asia, has seen a dramatic increase in energy demand in the last five years.  This rise in demand has subsequently fuelled the growth of the solar sector in the swiftly developing Asian country.  According to recent International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) statistics, Vietnam is among the top ten leading countries in solar utilization. This is pretty awesome for a developing nation, don’t you agree?

Statistics released in late 2020 reveal that Vietnam’s solar capacity stood at over 7.4 Gigawatts. This is positively surprising considering that the country’s solar capacity was only 4 megawatts in 2015.  The figure below will help paint a clear picture of Vietnam’s exponential growth in matters concerning solar energy;

Solar equipment supply capacity in Vietnam

From a solar products production and supply perspective, Vietnam has immense growth potential.  As part of an ambitious solar sector growth plan, the government of Vietnam has implemented flexible investment policies. These policies are primarily responsible for the rise in domestic and foreign producers and distributors dealing with different solar product categories.

It is also worth mentioning that Vietnam’s incredible port and logistical infrastructure have further strengthened its positive solar sector outlook. As stated by the World Economic Forum, Vietnam ranks at position 80 on the quality of port infrastructure. Do you intend to sell or buy solar products from the Vietnamese market? If the answer is yes, you can rest assured that you can safely transport any product to or from Vietnam.

I can confidently conclude that there are immense opportunities for individuals who intend to buy or supply different solar products in Vietnam.
