美國國家半導體，半導體行業的領軍企業之一，今天宣布，將出售太陽能電池板芯片組。國家半導體的SolarMagic技術去年首次亮相，該技術是對現有太陽能電池板系統的改進與補充。現在，技術日趨成熟，芯片可直接集成到面板結構，增加由相同數量陽光產生的發電量。

    要做到這一點，SolarMagic組件需確保電壓和電流流入每個太陽能電池板陣列，從而提高能源在整個面板陣列的整體流動。像由SolarEdge和Enphase能源制造的類似產品芯片組還通過網路收集它所服務的面板數據。這樣，太陽能設置安裝商和運營商可以看到面板是否損壞或能否正常工作。
    SolarMagic技術將在歐洲Intersolar上展示。
    National Semiconductor, one of the biggest names in the semiconductor industry，announced today that it will be selling a chipset that can up solar panel output.

    National Semi’s SolarMagic technology made its debut last year as an add-on for existing solar panel systems already in the field. Now, as a chipset, it can be integrated directly into panel architecture to increase the amount of power produced by the same amount of sunlight.

    To do this, the SolarMagic component makes sure the voltage and current flowing from every individual solar panel in an array so that they are the same ― thereby increasing the overall flow of energy from the entire panel array, the company says. Like similar offerings (made by SolarEdge and Enphase Energy, for example), the chipset also collects data from the panels it serves, making it available via the web. That way, solar installers and operators can see if panels are damaged, or not working as well as they could be.

    The SolarMagic technology will be demonstrated at Intersolar Europe, a major industry conference, in Munich at the end of this month.
