/ Supermarket Manager, Supermercado CristalSupermercado Cristal selected SolarEdge’s DC optimized PV solution because of the complex roof layout, including the inclinations and shaded areas that had been created as the supermarket expanded over the years. These areas would not have been possible to install modules with a traditional PV system due to module-level mismatch.

SolarEdge was the right solution because of its superior design flexibility. With SolarEdge, Supermarket Mercado was able to place 36 modules on one string, as opposed to 20 modules per string with a traditional inverter- efficiently making use of the full rooftop space. Ultimately, the supermarket increased the number of modules on the roof by 20% by using SolarEdge, resulting in greater energy production and lowering electricity costs.
