Pika Energy Case Study PV Link vs. Module Electronics: 7.56kW System Comparison PV Link is a modern PV optimizer, combining MPPT, Rapid Shutdown and monitoring. Giant heat sinks help PV Link maintain efficiencies up to 99%, and operate in temperatures up to 70ºC (158ºF). PV Link: Speed, reliability and savings The PV Link optimizer is designed for faster, simpler installations. Module-level power electronics (MLPEs) require equipment on every module and can have a high failure risk. PV Link connects up to 9 modules on each rugged, Rapid Shutdown-compliant device. Speed: PV Link installs up to 85% faster than MLPEs, meaning less time on the roof. The flexibility of PV Link allows it to be located in the most accessible area of the array. Reliability: Reducing the number of installed electronics means reducing the risk of part failure. Keep customers happy with Pika Energy s robust, simplified system. VS. Savings: Minimize costs with PV Link, which can control up to 9 PV modules for 2500W of power per substring.
