From the Dusty Desert to the Rainy Hills – OptiCool: The Climate Expert

As solar use increases throughout the world, inverters are increasingly exposed to every type of climate.

From torrential rains to arid deserts, extreme climate conditions around the world place high demands on solar technology, including dramatic temperature changes. But while ambient temperatures may fluctuate, it is imperative that the temperature within an inverter remain within an optimal range. Drastic fluctuations can cause premature wear on the sensitive electronic components of a central inverter.

SMA Solar Technology, the world leader in solar inverter solutions, understands the importance of temperature management. That’s why we’ve developed OptiCool, an intelligent temperature management system that helps maximize the life of the inverter by constantly monitoring and adjusting the internal temperature.

Watch this short video to learn how the Sunny Central with integrated OptiCool system works.
