The next level of PV performance optimization

SMA ShadeFix

The next level of PV performance optimization

SMA ShadeFix optimization is a proprietary, integrated inverter capability that optimizes the yield of PV systems in every situation – even in shading.

Yield optimization directly from the inverter

PV Systems are generally installed in scenarios where they can convert the largest amount of sunlight into electric current. However, it is not always possible to prevent dormer windows, chimneys, trees and other obstructions from casting shadows on PV modules. This reduces energy yield and lengthens a system owner’s payback period.

This is why SMA has developed a superior optimization technique – SMA ShadeFix. And the best thing about this solution is that SMA ShadeFix optimization is integrated into SMA inverters at no extra cost.

Greater energy production

in most situations and over the entire lifetime of the system. Even in shading.

Enhanced safety

due to fewer components. This keeps the risk of failure to a minimum.

Automatic inverter monitoring

supports system supervision and service.

SMA ShadeFix

Fewer components and enhanced safety through inverter-integrated optimization.

Enhanced safety due to fewer components

Why do we use integrated solutions at SMA? Because as the number of components in the entire system increases, so does the failure rate of the PV system. This is why you should never install more devices than necessary.

The benefits are clear:

Less work involved in installation and planning
No additional electronics on the roof
No unnecessary risk of fires and accidents
Faster service thanks to SMA Smart Connected

A fully integrated solution with fewer additional system components.

The inverter-integrated design avoids additional module-level optimization electronics and can reduce the number of system components.
As an innovative company, we are always thinking one step ahead in order to combine long-term business success with environmental protection and social responsibility.

The optimization function is integrated into compatible SMA inverters and requires no additional module-level optimization devices.
The integrated optimization function reduces the need for additional electronic components on the roof.

Why and How SMA Shadefix achieves the highest energy production

For all PV installers or solar system owners, our whitepaper unveils the results of the results of a study conducted by the University of Southern Denmark that compares SMA’s advanced PV optimization technology relative to other forms of optimization under a variety of unshaded and shaded conditions.
