IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS) an international power and IC
semiconductor company, today announced that its wholly owned UK
subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode Ltd., introduced five new additions to its
range of high efficiency IXOLARTM solarMD Solar modules.
These new additions, designed using monocrystalline silicon for
increased efficiency and spectral range and with a maximum power output
between 67mW and 540mW, are designed for use in applications such as
battery chargers, wireless sensors, green electricity generation and
power backup for UPS and complement the range of IXOLARTM
solar modules currently available.
“It is an expansion of the unique Solar Bits technology that we
developed, to enable our customers to add PV energy harvesting to their
products. By making the solar cells as surface mount standard devices,
we offer a low cost, simple handling solution that can be readily used
in standard product reflow soldering. Thus our customers can add solar
energy harvesting features to their products,” commented Dr. Nathan
Zommer, CEO and Founder of IXYS Corporation.
As well as being used individually, these modules can be arranged in
series or parallel combinations to increase their performance and suit a
multitude of power requirements while retaining the overall 22%
efficiency that characterizes the IXOLARTM range.
“These new introductions add more options to the already comprehensive
range of high efficiency solar cells available from IXYS UK Westcode
Ltd., giving uncompromising output power from a small footprint when
compared with traditional polycrystalline or amorphous solar products,”
states Nicholas Tarling, Product Engineer at IXYS UK Westcode Ltd.
Designations for these parts are as follows: SLMD360H10L (Vop – 5.01V,
Pmax – 67mW), SLMD720H12L (Vop – 5.8V, Pmax – 157mW), SLMD960H09L (Vop –
4.5V, Pmax – 162mW), SLMD860H12L (Vop – 5.9V, Pmax – 182mW), SLMD321H09L
(Vop – 4.5V, Pmax – 540mW).
