Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy Generation

NXP offers an array of products for several solar power generation system solutions such as photovoltaic inverters for residential, commercial and utility power generation systems that supply AC power to the grid. NXP solutions enable grid-tied systems (the most common types of photovoltaic systems today) and off-grid solar power systems. Where battery energy storage is desired, the PV inverters could be designed with bi-directional conversion and excess power can also be output to the grid.

Microcontrollers, gate drivers, power management devices and various types of wireless and wired connectivity devices are recommended for string and micro inverters (AC power output) as well as optimizer inverters (DC power output).
