IEC-

Patented Technology

Our patented technology harvests 20% to 25% more solar energy from any conventional Photo Voltaic Panel. It’s the winner the “Innovation Patent” from Australia. Invention, Intelligent Energy Controller,

IEC, is designed to perform Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT), within the PV Module and boosts its Peak Energy Output from 12V to 400 V.

What does the IEC Module do to its host Panel?

Intelligent Energy Controller, IEC, from MITRAMAX ENERGY, when embedded in each Solar Panel helps harvesting upto 25% more solar energy
Intelligently tracks the Peak Power Point of the host PV Module to maximize its harvested energy
Converts any Mono or Poly Crystalline or Film host to a panel with uniformly identical output performance, LEECH Module
It makes all IEC embedded panels, called LEECH modules, inter-replaceable irrespective of their Wp, Vp or type
Allows N+1 LEECH Modules to be connected in parallel and deliver their energy into a common bus bar

Conventional Solar Systems

The solar panels are connected in series to derive high voltage DC
Multiples of such series connected strings are connected in parallel for higher power
Series –Parallel Array output is fed to the charge controller in Inverter which converts the solar DC into AC for grid feed or direct use

Why are Panels connected in Series in currently used series-parallel Arrays?

Low voltage output of individual panel made in necessary to connect several of them in series to derive high voltage required for the system
For example 25 nos. of 24V DC panels are connected in series to derive 600V DC for grid feed inverter system
For higher power, multiples of such strings are connected in parallel.
PV panels not being identical is specs demands system installer to select and match panels before connecting in series. This leads to high cost and complexities in installation and maintenance
MPPT inside the Inverter is ineffective in such arrays. As a result most of the panels do not operate at peak power point

Limitation Of Series/Parallel Conventional Array

Series String Losses:

If even a part of a panel in a series string has dirt, bird droppings or shadow, it switches off, becomes resistive, and the voltage and current in that string collapses like stepping on a hose. A study conducted by independent expert Ralf J. Muenster of National Semiconducter gives a greater insight to it in his article written below.
