National Semi Solar Magic Technology
What if there was a magical way to increase solar panel efficiency by 20%? This is not a fairy tale! National Semiconductor has developed Solar Magic technology to boost solar panel output and increase power optimization.
At first, the product was introduced as an add-on accessory for existing solar panel arrays. Now, National Semi’s solar magic chipset can be built right into original solar panel architecture.
So, how does it work?
The solar magic chip compensates for a range of potential inconsistencies that typically reduce PV solar panel efficiency, including shade, dust, inappropriate panel tilt, and even flaws in the panel design. It works by ensuring consistent voltage and current to flow through each solar panel in the array, which boosts the overall energy output. In short, with the same amount of sunlight exposure, a solar panel array could be generating substantially more free solar electricity.
The cost for Solar Magic technology is about 12 cents per watt. The company primarily markets the product for utility scale solar plants, and larger commercial rooftop panel installations.

HI
I am interesting to apply Solar Magic Technology to my solar plant and if its possible for cooperate with you for Greece! there is a lot of interest here!
Thanks
