Suntech Tests National's SolarMagic Technology

National Semiconductor Corp. and Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to evaluate National Semiconductor's SolarMagic technology with the intention of jointly promoting the technology and developing future solutions.

National's SolarMagic power optimizers use distributed electronics throughout a solar installation to recoup energy lost due to real-world conditions such as shade, debris and panel mismatch. National developed SolarMagic technology to improve the energy harvest of solar arrays. Because of the characteristics of solar modules, real-world conditions - caused by shading from trees, chimneys or power lines; debris such as leaves or dirt, and panel aging - can lead to disproportionate power losses.
