Microsemi has released what it claims to be the world’s first solar bypass solution capable of increasing power generation efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) solar module applications.
The LX2400 is an integrated circuit solution based on technology developed by Microsemi in conjunction with Spelsberg ELS, an expert in connection systems for photovoltaic modules, and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy (ISE), the largest solar energy research institute in Europe. The IC implements patented CoolRUN technology, which increases power generation efficiency and reduces operating temperatures while reducing operational expense, reliability problems and associated warranty costs of traditional Schottky diodes.
The LX2400 is targeted for use in junction boxes supporting both existing and next-generation high-power solar modules serving industrial, commercial and solar PPA applications. With its low typical forward voltage drop of 50 mV under 10 A load currents, the device operates with negligible heat generation, resulting in a temperature rise of only 10°C. It is fully functional from -65°C to +165°C, passes 1,4 Joule lightning tests and is compliant with IEC61215, Section 10.18.
