M600-M Power Optimizer
“
Product Information
Specifications:
- Model: BRC Optimizer M600-M
- Input Current Limit: 16A
- Compatibility: Inverters with MPP input current (IMPP) of up to
16A
Product Usage Instructions
Installation Guidelines:
- Ensure the inverter used has a MPP input current (IMPP) of 16A
or less. - Do not install the Power Optimizer M600-M on every pv module if
the inverter exceeds 16A; limit to a maximum of 50% of all pv
modules per string. - Avoid connecting strings or pv modules in parallel; connect
shaded pv modules to a separate string without parallel connections
for optimization. - Follow the sequence for connecting cables: first connect short
cables to the pv module, then connect long cables to the
string.
Connection Steps:
- If a module is already connected on the string side, disconnect
neighboring module connections. - Connect short cables to the PV module, ensuring correct
polarity. - Connect long cables to the string side, also ensuring correct
polarity.
Note: PV testing equipment cannot measure
current in a string where every module is equipped with an
optimizer. Use a current clamp for accurate measurements during
operation.

FAQ
Q: Can I use the Power Optimizer M600-M with any inverter?
A: The Power Optimizer M600-M is compatible
with inverters having an MPP input current (IMPP) of up to 16A.
Ensure your inverter meets this requirement for optimal
performance.
Q: How should I handle parallel connections of strings or pv
modules?
A: Avoid connecting strings or pv modules in
parallel. Connect shaded pv modules to a separate string without
parallel connections before equipping them with the Power Optimizer
M600-M.

Important instructions for planning and installation with BRC Optimizer M600-M
To correctly install the Power Optimizer M600-M and to avoid problems from the very beginning, please note the following introductions:
If an inverter with a MPP input current (IMPP) of more than 16A is used, it is not allowed to install the Power Optimizer M600-M at every pv module. In this case it is only allowed to equip a maximum of 50% of all pv modules of each string with a Power Optimizer M600-M. You can check if this is necessary with our inverter checker: https://brc-solar.de/en/power-optimizer-en/inverter-checker/
Do not use the Power Optimizer M600-M if strings or pv modules are connected in parallel! To avoid this situation, please connect all shaded pv modules to a separate string without a parallel connection. This string can then equipped with the Power Optimizer M600-M. In case of any further questions regarding those cases, please contact the support of BRC: (Tel.: +49 7243 924 1486 / E-Mail: support@brc-solar.de).
Always connect the Power Optimizer M600-M according to the following sequence: First connect the short cables to the pv module, then connect the long cables to the string.
1 If the module is already connected on the string side, disconnect the connections from the neighbouring modules.
2 First, connect the short cables to the PV module. Pay attention to the polarity.
3 The long cables are connected on the string side. Pay attention to the polarity.
Note: PV testing equipment cannot measure the current in a string where every module is
equipped with an optimizer. This is only possible by using a current clamp during operation. If a short circuit test is performed in a plant with M600-M optimizers, the test will not
provide usable results.
