Intelligent Power Modules Made For Residential PV Inverters

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has launched its new PV Series intelligent power modules, which the company says are mainly for use in residential photovoltaic inverters. miniature power module up next to a ruler The six models, which can also be used in inverters for fuel-cell systems, each measure 90 mm by 50 mm, contributing to PV inverter miniaturization. Because inverters for residential PV systems are usually installed indoors, it is important that they be made as small... Read More

Mitsubishi Electric Develops New PV Inverter To Maximize Solar Output

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a new maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) system in PV inverters to maximize output power in photovoltaic (PV) . The technology, which works with a single PV inverter, achieves the maximum power point even when part of a PV array is hidden by shadow or dust. PV system characteristics such as output power are greatly influenced by the amount of sunlight and temperature. Conventional... Read More
