New government policy combined with the new regulation is driving renewable energy generation, and the solar market is expected to have strong growth in the future. Due to the current increase of power density in solar inverters and the demand for energy storage balancing, this generation of solar power leads to a need to significantly monitor all elements of a solar system. For solar PV applications, RS-485 communications are used due to inherent noise immunity. Adding iCoupler isolated RS-485 transceivers provides a safe, reliable, and EMC robust solution for solar PV network communication interfaces.
RS-485 has several uses, the primary use being remote monitoring of power generation, PowerPoint trackers, and energy storage status (battery storage).
For solar applications like energy storage communications is critical, as it alerts the user of power generation and consumption…
