Increase Power Production

The ultimate measure of array performance is the AC power produced by the array’s inverter. But panel variance makes power point tracking more difficult. This could be a result of direct shading, or other factors such as soiling, panel degradation, or thermal variation across panels. Regardless of the cause, this panel variation causes inefficiency in the global power point.

The vBoost module incorporates Maximum Power Point Tracking right at the panel, so that any underperforming panels no longer drag down the entire system. Each panel maintains peak performance regardless of conditions affecting it or the other panels around it.

Parallel Solar architecture also eliminates voltage swings, so inverters always operate in their "sweet spot." A constant supply voltage also reduces stress on the inverter’s critical components, so they last longer and operate at higher efficiency.
