The relationship between solar panel and magnetic latching relay

Pulished on Apr. 07, 2021

With the application of new energy products more and more widely, many new energy products have been involved in every aspect of our life. Solar energy, the most rapidly developing of these, is playing a particularly big role.

Solar cells, also known as "solar chips" or "photovoltaic cells", are thin slices of photoelectric semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight. Single solar cells cannot be used as a direct power source. For power supply, a number of individual solar cells must be connected in series or parallel and tightly packaged into components. Solar panel (also called solar cell module) An assembly of a number of solar cells that are assembled in order. It is the core and most important part of a solar power generation system.

Powerful operation system can not be separated from the inner core that supports its operation, and the "magnetic holding relay" plays a vital role in the operation of solar energy. Adhering to the production concept of "green development" as the core, Ivy has produced many types of relays used in solar energy, which is at the forefront of the industry.

So what role does the magnetic latching relay play in solar energy? First of all, we have to understand the magnetic latching relay and its function. Magnetic latching relays, such as our IM901 relay, at a load current of 90A, the open and close states of their contacts are usually maintained by the magnetic force generated by a permanent magnet. When the contact of the relay needs to be in the open or closed state, it only needs to use the positive (negative) DC pulse voltage to excite the coil, and the relay can complete the switch of the open and closed state in an instant. Usually when the contact is in the hold state, the coil does not need to continue energizing, and the magnetic force of the permanent magnet alone can maintain the state of the relay unchanged. These characteristics make it useful for the following purposes:

1. Expand the scope of control
2. Integrated signal
3. Automatic, remote control and monitoring

As mentioned in the third point, when it is necessary to measure solar energy, smart meters are indispensable. For most smart meters, internal relays are needed to make on-off functions.
