Agreement Date:
Oct 15, 2024 - Jun 16, 2025
Description:
The project purpose is to create a smart solar module for residential applications. The solar module will remove the need for external electronic components such as DC optimizers, inverters, diodes, and rapid shutdown devices. By integrating the external components, overall system reliability is improved, as well as reducing installation time and maintenance costs. Equally important, the integrated solar module harvests more solar energy under typical lighting conditions.
