At Specialized Solar & Electrical, we’re always looking for ways to help our clients get the most out of their solar investment.
A recent study by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) has revealed some exciting results: solar systems using SolarEdge’s DC-Optimised technology can harvest over 15% more energy compared to conventional string inverter systems.
This independent, global analysis used real-world data from solar modules installed across Australia, North America, Europe, and other regions — and the findings are a game-changer.
Key Findings from the UNSW Study
-
15%+ more energy in unshaded systems
-
22%+ potential gains in hot and humid climates
-
16%+ more energy in humid locations
-
18%+ potential gains in systems with intermittent shading
-
17%+ more energy during winter periods
These results were achieved using industry-standard I–V curve reconstruction methods and reflect conservative estimates, excluding modules with activated bypass diodes.
What This Means for Homeowners
The UNSW study confirms what we’ve seen in the field — SolarEdge systems don’t just produce more energy, they give you more possibilities for the future.
Key Benefits:
- One System, More Possibilities
SolarEdge gives you more than just power — it gives you flexibility. From the day it’s installed, your system is ready to adapt to your home’s changing needs. - One Inverter for Any Size Home
Whether you start small or go big from day one, the SolarEdge Home Hub Universal Inverter is built to handle it. When paired with a SolarEdge Home Battery, it supports configurations from 10 to 50 panels — perfect for both modest rooftops and large-scale systems. - Ready for the Road Ahead
Your system is future-ready. Seamlessly join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), integrate EV charging, add more panels, or even expand to full home backup — all without replacing the inverter. - Built for Australian Conditions
Backed by a 12-year warranty and engineered for the harsh Australian climate, you can set it and forget it, knowing your system is designed to keep performing for over a decade. - Peace of Mind with Smart Monitoring
SolarEdge’s built-in monitoring keeps an eye on your system 24/7. If there’s ever an issue, your installer gets an automatic alert, helping to resolve it quickly and keep your home running efficiently.
With the SolarEdge Home Hub Universal Inverter, you’re not just getting more energy — you’re gaining more control, more reliability, and a system that grows with you.
Why Specialized Solar & Electrical Uses SolarEdge
At Specialized Solar & Electrical, our goal is to deliver systems that perform at their best from day one — and keep delivering for years to come. That’s why we choose SolarEdge DC-Optimised technology for many of our installations.
- More Energy, More Savings
Independent research from the University of New South Wales has shown that SolarEdge DC-Optimised systems can produce at least 15% more energy than conventional string systems. With each panel working independently at its peak efficiency, your system can maximise output even in less-than-perfect conditions. - Faster ROI
Greater energy production means greater savings on your electricity bills — and the potential for a faster payback period on your investment. - Enhanced Safety for Automatic Home Protection
Built-in safety features like SafeDC™ and arc fault detection are designed to automatically shut down the system in an emergency, protecting your home and your family. - Future-Ready Technology
SolarEdge inverters are built with the future in mind. From EV charging integration to battery storage and Virtual Power Plant participation, your system can evolve as your needs change. All technology complies with the highest industry cybersecurity standards, ensuring long-term system security and resilience.
With SolarEdge, you’re not just installing solar — you’re investing in higher performance, smarter safety, and a system built to grow with you.
