SolarEdge C651U Commercial Power Optimizer
The C651U is SolarEdge’s USA-manufactured commercial power optimizer for rooftop and C&I projects using SolarEdge three-phase commercial inverters. The orderable SolarEdge part number is C651U-1GMVMRRU.
Compatibility (per SolarEdge): for commercial three-phase inverters with part numbers xSE-SIN-USxxIxxxx (for example USE-SIN-USR0IBNS8), SE-DBL-USxxIxxxx and SE-TRI-USxxIxxxx (for example SE-TRI-US00IBNS4). C651U cannot be mixed with any other power optimizer model in the same string. It is not used with SolarEdge TerraMax inverters.
