Reduce Design Complexity

A challenge in solar array design is the interaction between series-wired panels — each panel’s output and voltage must be closely matched to its neighbors, or array's output can plummet. But even meticulous attention to panel orientation and shading, and use of seemingly identical panels, can be undermined by real-world factors like dirt and panel variation.

Parallel Solar makes these factors a non-issue. eIQ Energy’s vBoost module enables each panel to output a constant voltage under all operating conditions, so all panels become independent contributors to the array’s power bus.

It’s a new level of freedom for designers. Multiple PV technologies can run side by side. Panels on the same wire run can face in different directions.
