Optitrac de SMA

Optitrac technology

OptiTrac Global Peak is an additional function of the proven "OptiTrac" MPP tracker and is activated on this inverter.

It is used for partially shaded photovoltaic systems. Even in this configuration, this special operating mode guarantees continuous operation of the panels at the point of maximum power, with no noticeable influence on yield (losses < 0.2%). In other words: even in the event of shading, the panels operate correctly.
