BRC Power Optimizer M700-E Module Optimizer for PV Systems

  • Maximum input power of 700 W with up to 99.5 % efficiency
  • High rated current of 18.5 A DC
  • Simple plug-and-play installation without additional software or app
  • Compatible with most common inverters
  • Ultra Fast MPP tracking and patented standby function
  • IP68 protection, operation from -40 °C to +85 °C, Stäubli MC4 connectors

Important: Inverters with more than 18.5 A MPP current

For inverters with an MPP input current (IMPP) of more than 18.5 A, full optimization with M700-E optimizers is not permitted. For MPP trackers whose datasheet specifies an MPP current per MPPT higher than 18.5 A, a maximum of 50 % of the modules in that string may be equipped with M700-E optimizers. This can easily be checked using the BRC Inverter Checker.

The BRC Power Optimizer M700-E is connected in parallel to the PV module via plug-and-play and reduces yield losses caused by shading, different orientations or module tilts. When shading occurs, it is activated automatically, similar to a bypass diode, and adjusts output voltage and current to match the string current. This allows the available module power to keep flowing into the system.

The optimizer is installed by a qualified electrician using an M8 screw on the mounting rail or, optionally, directly on the module frame using the BRClamp. It is maintenance-free, and thanks to long-life electronics based on GaN technology, BRC Solar offers a 25-year warranty.

Further Installation Requirements

  • No parallel strings: The M700-E may only be used if exactly one string is connected to each MPP tracker.
  • Connection sequence: Always connect the short cables to the module first, then the long cables to the string. Pay attention to the polarity.
  • Measurements: PV measuring devices cannot measure the current in fully optimized systems. It can be measured during operation using a clamp meter. Short-circuit current measurements with M700-E optimizers do not produce usable results.
  • Temperature: At rated power, temperature-related derating may occur from an ambient temperature of 75 °C.
