As the solar industry advances, ensuring high performance, safety and cybersecurity in PV systems has become more crucial than ever. A new independent report by VDE Renewables – a global authority on renewable energy testing and certification – has validated SolarEdge’s position as a market leader in delivering all three.
At Genfit, we’re proud to install SolarEdge inverter and Power Optimizer systems, and this latest study further strengthens our confidence in offering these high-performing, secure and future-proof technologies to our customers.
✅ Industry-Leading Safety Standards
VDE Renewables’ assessment highlights how SolarEdge’s MLPE (Module-Level Power Electronics) technology exceeds international safety standards. The system’s integrated protection mechanisms – including SafeDC™, rapid shutdown, module-level monitoring, and Sense Connect – significantly reduce fire risk and electrical hazards.
Sense Connect, in particular, proactively identifies overheating connectors long before they become a danger, helping to prevent thermal events and offering critical peace of mind to system owners, emergency responders, and maintenance teams.
🔒 Robust Cybersecurity Protection
Cybersecurity is an emerging concern in increasingly digitised and connected solar systems. SolarEdge’s built-in cybersecurity architecture was found to comply with international standards such as IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
The report recognised SolarEdge’s commitment to grid resilience with features including:
- Encrypted communication protocols
- Secure remote firmware updates
- Multi-level access control
- Continuous system monitoring
- Penetration-tested system design
As solar systems become more integrated into national infrastructure, protecting them from cyber threats is no longer optional – it’s essential.
⚡ Proven Higher Energy Yields
Performance testing within the VDE study showed that SolarEdge systems deliver significantly more energy than traditional string inverters:
- 4% more energy on simple rooftops
- 10.5% more energy on complex rooftops
These impressive gains are driven by SolarEdge’s Power Optimizers and advanced Buck and Boost technology, which allow each panel to operate independently at its maximum efficiency. The SolarEdge ONE platform further enhances performance by adapting to fixed and dynamic electricity tariffs, supporting larger systems, and reducing Balance of System (BoS) costs.
Trusted Technology for the Future
Arne Gruenewald from VDE Renewables commented, “SolarEdge’s technology demonstrates its strategic market position in safety, cybersecurity, and performance – criteria that are essential for the technology’s long-term viability and trust.”
At Genfit, we’re committed to delivering only the best technology to our customers, and that’s why SolarEdge continues to be a key part of our offering. Whether you’re installing solar for your home or business, you can rest assured you’re investing in a system that’s smart, secure, and built to deliver more energy for years to come.
