Bosch is in the process of developing new switch off solutions design for solar modules. The new products will be presented at the Intersolar trade fair.
The new solutions for both commercial and residential applications are optimizes for module electronics, particularly module junction boxes and control units.
The automatic switch-off is very useful in hazardous situations. Another advantage is the voltage-free state, meaning that the owners can have the modules installed and not risk electric shocks.
In case of main supply shutdown, intelligent electronics in every junction box guarantee the self-regulated switch-off of the entire system and its distinctive modules. This function can also be called up with a control signal from an exterior emergency switch. The new Bosch idea is distinct by initializing an automatic following restart as soon as the problematic situation has stopped. By this, the production is ensured once the situation ended.
After passing a large number of tests and being used in the field, prototypes have affirmed their strong capability.
All basic solar module types can benefit from the innovative solutions. In fact, the automatic switch –off can be installed without rebuilding the machines, in most cases. Moreover, the new product designed by Bosch Solar Energy matches with a handful of industrial standards and codes that where formerly introduced.
At the Intersolar trade fair, where the new concept will be promoted, Bosch will also showcase new black premium solar module, the white high-performance module and the new frame concept.
