Solar ICs for Smart PV Systems
Leveraging National Semiconductor’s system-level expertise in understanding the entire PV system-from panels to grid- combined with Texas Instruments’ industry leading design, process, packing technology, Solar IC solutions raise the IQ of these systems and help maximize the ROI for the end users and the partners in between.
The Solar IC product portfolio includes solutions that help lower the cost of Photovoltaic (PV) arrays by integrating the electronics that process power for distribution, condition signals for communication, increase safety of solar arrays, and help maintain maximum power from individual panels. PV systems have historically been designed with limited electronics, mostly concentrated in the centralized DC/AC inverter. Leveraging National Semiconductor's system level expertise in understanding the entire system, from the panels to the grid, combined with our industry leading design/process/packaging technology, we have developed a line of ICs that raises the IQ of these systems and helps maximize the ROI for the end users and the partners in between.
As the only major semiconductor supplier to offer complete end-to-end solutions for the solar PV ecosystem, Texas Instruments offers Solar IC solutions for various PV components including DC/DC power optimizers, DC/AC microinverters and inverters, MPPT based battery charge controllers, and PV safety solutions including reference designs.
