DC Optimizer
A DC optimizer is a module-level power electronics device that manages the DC output of a solar module before power is sent to a central inverter.

What does DC Optimizer mean?
A DC optimizer is a module-level power electronics device that manages the DC output of a solar module before power is sent to a central inverter.
How is a DC optimizer different from a microinverter?
A DC optimizer can provide module-level benefits such as optimization, monitoring, and rapid shutdown while leaving DC-to-AC conversion to the inverter. That keeps the module energy on the DC side of the system longer.
