Saving Power for the Future | ADI
New government policy combined with new regulation
is driving renewable energy generation, and the solar
market is expected to have strong growth in the future.
Because of the current increase of power density in
solar inverters and the demand for energy storage
balancing, this generation of solar power leads to a
need to significantly monitor all elements of a solar
system. For solar photovoltaic (PV) applications,
RS-485 communications are used because of inherent
noise immunity. Adding iCoupler® isolated RS-485
transceivers provides a safe, reliable, and EMC
robust solution for solar PV network communication
interfaces.
