SMA ShadeFix: the system for managing the shading of SMA modules

In some cases, your photovoltaic system may be affected by shading phenomena, perhaps due to the shape of the roof or other obstacles that, in some hours of the day, can generate shadows over the photovoltaic panels, decreasing their production.

To have higher yields from its system, SMA has introduced a software-based solution, applied directly to the inverter, to remedy this problem: SMA ShadeFix.

How does it work?

SMA ShadeFix is ​​a software management system for shading, integrated into the SMA inverter, active since commissioning. It uses a very effective MPP tracking system, which identifies the operating point with maximum power in the event of partial shading of the system.

This solution has the advantage that it does not involve any additional installation, such as an optimizer. In this way, the possibility of system failure is minimized, not including additional devices during the installation phase.

We can also count on the cost advantage. By spending less, you can have a better depreciation of your plant, keeping the productivity level high.
