The company said that SolarMagic product line combines National’s expertise in power electronics with advanced monitoring and management capabilities to maximize energy capture across a solar installation.
In addition, GESOLAR’s polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) modules incorporate SolarMagic power optimization to offer an affordable ‘smart panel’ offering to the underperformance issues common with solar energy installations.
National and GESOLAR will demonstrate SolarMagic smart panels at Intersolar Europe in Munich, Germany, June 9-11, 2010.
Mike Polacek, senior vice president of National Semiconductor, said: “Together we developed ‘smart panels,’ high-performance solar modules that enable residential and commercial solar systems to cost-effectively produce significantly more energy than that produced by standard panels.”
Stephen Tong, CEO of GESOLAR, said: “We are excited to collaborate with the pioneer in power management electronics to develop the next generation of solar panels. Our new line of GESOLAR modules is a cost-effective, high performance product that will expand the market for solar installations.”
