Maxim's cell-string optimizers are highly integrated DC-DC converters that replace the bypass diode and perform maximum power point tracking (MPPT) deep inside the PV module. By replacing each diode with a MPPT device, the on-off response to performance mismatch is eliminated; every cell-string contributes maximum power without interfering with the power production capability of others.
Based on the company's industry leading power semiconductor technology, Maxim's cell-string optimizer is the first integrated power IC to perform MPPT and first to be embedded within the PV module.
