Phoenix Contact Shows Off New DC/DC Solar Power Converter

renewableenergyworldJuly 11, 2017161

The new UNO Solar DC-to-DC power converter from Phoenix Contact connects directly to a solar array. The UNO Solar converts high voltages from DC strings to 24 V DC, eliminating the costs and hassle of trenching for combiner, re-combiner, and inverter control for anti-islanding applications.

The UNO Solar accepts the 300 to 1000 V DC input generated by the array and converts it to electrically isolated 24 V DC/2.5 A output voltage. For higher current applications, the UNO Solar can be wired in parallel with the use of a decoupling diode.  

The UNO Solar’s compact housing and high efficiency means it can be used in small control boxes, said the company.
