SolarEdge Power Optimizer P801 (P801-4RM4MRY)
The SolarEdge P801 is a powerful dual-module optimizer that lets you connect two solar panels to a single optimizer.
Ideal for commercial roofs and residential installations with high-power modules: fewer components, neater cabling and still
module-level MPPT for maximum kWh. With SafeDC™ the string voltage automatically drops to a safe level when the system is switched off or the grid fails.
2 panels per optimizer
Halve the number of optimizers on large arrays and simplify the layout.
High yield
Module-level MPPT minimizes mismatch and shading losses for more kWh/year.
Safe & robust
SafeDC™, IP68 enclosure and MC4-compatible connectors for durable outdoor mounting.
Neat cabling
Long positive lead for tidy series routing and quick looping through.
Application & compatibility
- Suitable for two PV modules per optimizer (high-power 60/72/120/144 half-cut modules).
- Compatible with SolarEdge 3-phase commercial inverters.
- Use the P801 on arrays where you want to limit the number of optimizers without giving up monitoring and safety.
- According to the compatibility matrix it may be combined in one string with P600, P650, P700, P701 and P730 power optimizers.
Installation tips
- Mounting – fix the optimizer to the rail or frame; leave ventilation space underneath the panel.
- Connecting – connect two identical modules per P801; mind the polarity and use MC4-compatible connectors only.
- Cabling – route the longer positive lead neatly to the next position; respect the minimum bending radius.
- String design – design in line with the SolarEdge guidelines (cold-weather Voc, max. string power and minimum string length).
- Commissioning – follow the SolarEdge procedure; map the modules and check the SafeDC behaviour and string values before switching on.
Technical data
| Connection configuration | 2 modules per optimizer (dual) |
| Rated PV input power | up to 800 W per optimizer (typically 2× ~400 W) |

That keeps the MPPs closely matched and prevents unnecessary clipping.
