eIQ Energy
eIQ Energy’s vBoost DC-to-DC converter module increases system energy harvest; and enables solar panels to be connected in parallel rather than in series. This reduces overall system cost and provides benefits for designers, installers, and operators. vBoost’s advanced DC power management technology allows over 180 kW of solar to be installed with only a single pair of electrical terminations. This helps to greatly reduce the cost and time required for a solar installation. With distributed MPPT built in, vBoost-equipped systems can also harvest 5% to 30% more energy than conventional installations. Additionally, the Parallel Solar technology collects and reports detailed data on panel performance with no extra wiring, providing excellent operational visibility and reduced risk for system owners, as long-term performance of each system component can be monitored and assured.
