Recently, the innovative PV module – ET Cell Optimizer Module (COM) successfully obtained two certificates issued by VDE and ETL, meaning that the module’s design, type and safety conform to international high standards of PV modules. The two institutes are among the world’s most prominent independent testing organizations for electric and electronic products.
The new ET COM modules replace the diode function with active performance management bringing optimization to each cell string within the fabric of the module. By providing shade tolerance at the cell level, the new ET COM modules will produce more energy – even when compared to modules equipped with the leading DC optimizers or micro-inverters.
In addition, the new ET COM modules are compatible with all leading inverters, monitoring equipment, and mounting solutions; with an installation process identical to conventional PV modules.
In general, ET COM module outperforms the other solar modules in the following areas,
* Reduced power degradation, increase energy harvest
* Prevent hot-spot formation, reduce soiling loss and O&M cost
* Allow 10~20% tighter row pitch with the same energy production per panel, expand solar system size
* High reliability solution and UL/IEC certified
* Fully compatible with all leading inverter/monitoring system
As one of the first global module suppliers to manufacture this new generation of PV modules, ET Solar is again demonstrating the technology leadership for which the company is known.
