what is the difference between the full configuration and optional configuration? does it affect the performance of the system? or just the same? can someone explain? thanks very much in advance
I'm no expert but do have a Huawei inverter with optimizers on each panel on my home. As it was explained to me when I was asking questions about optimizers is that the optional configuration seems to just be showing a PV panel in the array that does not have an optimizer and while other's do. Apparently any panel that does not have an optimizer will be as efficient as the lowest performing panel in the chain/array that also does not have an optimizer. I think the huawei unit can manage both optimized and un-optimized panels in the same array. Optimizers are optional and only "ensure" performance of the system is as efficient it can be where there are shade effected areas, or panels at different locations on a roof. I chose to go with an optimzer per panel for piece of mind as I had slight shade of a tree at some time of the day and wanted as much performance as I can get from each panel. I was told though that you only really need an optimizer on panels affected by shade so they dont bring down the efficiency of the entire array. I think that's what the optional configuration is showing in the video.
