How Smart Solar Optimisers & Battery Energy Storage Work Together for Maximum Energy Efficiency
The Relentless Growth in Solar Power Optimisers
The global market for solar power optimisers has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and the demand for enhanced energy generation efficiency.
In 2023, the power optimizer market was valued at approximately £1.5 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 12% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is attributed to the global shift towards renewable energy sources, leading to a surge in the installation of solar PV systems.

SUNGO Energy Smart Solar Power Optimisers Put To The Test
Two virtually identical sections of 143 PV panels, at the Gunma Solar PV project in Japan were selected for this side-by-side performance test. One section was fitted with SUNGO Energy’s Smart Solar Power Optimisers, the other section was not. The monthly energy generation of the optimised and non-optimised sections was measured from September 2020 to August 2021 and showed a peak monthly performance improvement of 26.74% and an average increase in energy generation of 17.34% over the 12-month test.
These results are typical of SUNGO Energy highly cost-effective smart solar optimisers, which have been proven to deliver up to 30% improvement in energy generation across the 2GW of installed optimiser capacity in over 30 countries. Read More...

Understanding Solar Optimisers:
What They Are and Why You Need Them
As solar energy continues to gain momentum in the UK, the importance of optimising solar panel efficiency has never been more critical. Solar optimisers are pivotal to achieving this and offer significant advantages that make them indispensable for modern solar energy systems.
This article delves into what solar optimisers are, why they are essential, and the current trends driving their adoption, focusing on the broader industry with references to leading brands such as SUNGO Energy.
Rapid Shutdown for PV Solar Systems: Ensuring Safety & Regulatory Compliance
One critical safety feature in modern solar installations is the rapid shutdown mechanism. This system ensures that PV systems can be quickly de-energized in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or electrical fault. Beyond safety, rapid shutdown is also essential for regulatory compliance, as it meets the standards set by various authorities.
SUNGO Energy has always invested heavily in R&D and has developed advanced rapid shutdown technologies which are built into its intelligent solar power optimiser range and used in over 30 countries.
