eIQ Energy, Inc. has introduced the latest and highest capacity addition to its vBoost DC Parallel System: the vBoost 600 DC-to-DC converter module, which reduces the installed cost and improves the efficiency of solar power arrays. The new vBoost 600 modules boost the output of solar panels to a predictable, constant voltage, while providing up to 600 watts of power capacity—enough to handle two crystalline silicon PV panels or multiple thin-film panels. The new modules use fewer components and provide more efficient power conversion than eIQ Energy’s previous 250- and 350-watt modules.
 
eIQ Energy’s vBoost DC Parallel System, which includes vBoost converter modules, vComm communication modules, and web-based Monitoring System software, enables solar panels to be wired in parallel rather than in series. The vBoost converters also provide distributed maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This ensures that each panel contributes its full generating potential at all times, regardless of panel shading, soiling, and other design and operational issues, allowing the inverter to operate at optimal efficiency.
