The Archai Solar Optimiser works panel by panel, ensuring maximum output, safety, and visibility across any solar array.

Paired with the Archai Data Gateway, it provides fast, reliable connectivity through Power Line Communication (PLC) — eliminating Wi-Fi dropouts and guaranteeing always-on monitoring.

*Model: ARC-iOPT 800W and GT

*Scale: From residential to multi-megawatt solar farms

*Integration: Works with our SolarSync Platform

*Connection to the internet for remote monitoring via your home or business wi-fi, or built in 4G module.

How does it work?

Flexible by Design

Not all solar arrays are installed under perfect conditions. Rooflines, shading from trees, dust, snow, bird droppings, or differing panel orientations can all reduce output.

Archai optimisers work at the individual panel level, using MPPT to ensure every panel delivers maximum power regardless of its neighbours.

This allows for more complex designs — split roof arrays, east/west orientations, or ground mounts with variable angles — without compromising performance.

Result: More site options for installers and consistently higher output for owners.

Reliable Installation

Installation speed and reliability can make or break project margins.

Unlike Wi-Fi-based systems, Archai uses Power Line Communication (PLC) — each optimiser connects via existing DC cabling directly to the Data Gateway.

No manual Wi-Fi pairing, no risk of wireless interference, and no dropout issues over time.

The clip-on design means optimisers attach quickly to the panel frame or mounting rail.

Result: Faster installs, fewer call-backs, and long-term reliability.

Less Maintenance

Solar systems should generate power — not service calls.

With panel-level data, underperformance or faults are automatically flagged.

Remote fault evaluation allows technicians to identify exactly which panel needs attention before arriving on-site.

Less time spent diagnosing problems = fewer truck rolls and lower costs.

Result: Reduced OPEX for asset managers and more efficient service delivery for installers.

Lifecycle Savings

Optimisers aren’t just about more power today — they protect returns for decades.

Systems without optimisers suffer from mismatch losses, shading impact, and undetected degradation over time.

By maximising performance panel by panel and reducing downtime, Archai optimisers consistently deliver more energy over their 25-year lifespan.

Combined with lower maintenance costs, the total cost of ownership is significantly reduced compared to microinverters or non-optimised PV stacks.

Result: Higher ROI, stronger financial performance, and a safer long-term investment.

The Archai Difference

Without Optimisers

With Archai Optimisers

High-voltage DC runs uncontrolled across strings, creating arc risks and no automatic shutdown in emergencies.
Each panel’s DC voltage is limited with built-in rapid shutdown, making systems safer and Fire & Rescue compliant.
A single shaded or dirty panel reduces the performance of the entire system.
Shading, dirt, or orientation differences don’t drag down the array — every panel works at its best.
Panels degrade unevenly, lowering efficiency across the system over time.
Optimisers compensate for voltage/current variations and panel degradation, maintaining long-term efficiency.
No visibility at panel level, meaning faults or underperformance often go unnoticed.
Panel-level monitoring via the SolarSync App provides real-time data, alerts, and visibility.
Maintenance is slow, costly, and relies on scarce skilled engineers.
Remote diagnostics allow faster, targeted maintenance, cutting downtime and engineering costs.
Lower output, higher risks, and inefficient maintenance reduce overall return on investment.
Higher yield and reduced downtime deliver a stronger ROI over the system’s lifetime.
