How IEC enables super harvesting of energy from any PV module?
How IEC Super Harvester Add-on enables to set up All Parallel Array?
For residential, commercial and utility scale
Since IEC Super Harvester converts its mother PV module into peak power current source, several hundred such PV modules with embedded super harvester work in parallel. This feature helps you to build All Parallel Array of PV modules where each module delivers its output at high voltage up to 320V
DC into a common bus bar.

photovoltaic solar arrays, MITRAMAX Energy’s
“IEC- Super Energy Harvester Add-on” unit optimizes the power output of each PV module (solar panel) and delivers module’s ‘constant peak power output’ as a peak current source into a bus at high voltage. IEC-SUPER ENERGY HARVESTER
How IEC offers on-line porting of energy harvest data?
IEC super harvester Add-on, as an extra option, delivers module level data for operational management and performance monitoring or every module in an array of large number of panels hooked on a common bus bar.
How IEC offers high voltage safety during installation and maintenance? IEC topology provides modules energy at high voltages into a bus bar this output is isolated from the module frames and connecting or disconnecting it from the bus needs no contact due to NEC2008 compliant connectors used. This allows anyone to safely deactivate any module for installation, field service or replacement. This gives full safety to personnel during installation, maintenance or fire fighting.
How is the module level energy management monitoring achieved?
IEC – Super Energy Harvester Add-ons are key components of the system which reside on the rear of module (one per solar module). The Super Energy
Harvester provides MEI, Module Energy Information

How IEC, Super Energy Harvester
TM
from MITRAMAX is made easy to use? IEC, Super Energy Harvester has a very small size to snugly fit on the rear of any PV solar module and is designed to perform continuously at temperatures up to
80°C. The IP65 packaging makes it waterproof and it is designed to minimize the cost and maximize reliability.
IEC, Super Energy Harvester from MITRAMAXTM is ideal for use all over the world and provide efficient service throughout its long life.
How IEC saves money for you by avoiding sorting and selecting of matched PV modules?
IEC, Super Energy Harvester output needs no sorting
or selecting of the mother panel which can be either mono or poly silicon type and of any Wp or Vp rating within the limits specified under the detailed specifications. IEC retrofits on the rear of any PV module and it optimized the energy harvest and optionally sends the information to AMSC for reporting and control.
What are the benefits of all parallel architecture for your array?
IEC, Super Energy Harvester from MITRAMAXTM is designed for all parallel array architecture and this ensures best-in-class array conversion efficiencies.
There are many ways in which APA, all parallel array, helps user to get more energy, lower losses and ease of installation and maintenance. All these help you save money and earn more! l APA avoids catastrophically high losses in series strings as in conventional series-parallel array.
(Failure of one panel due to shadow, dirt causes energy loss of entire string by as much as 60%!) l It is established that a common MPPT controller in the solar inverter can never ensure that each module in a conventional series- parallel, array operate at its peak power point. Unlike APA, this prevents conventional array from harvesting all potential power. l APA sharply reduces the conduction losses since currents from panel are very low and junctions necessary are very few. l use any type of module of any rating and
APA can thus avoids cost and complications caused in selecting and matching of modules as in a conventional array.
What about the environmental endurance and life of IEC, Super
Energy Harvester?
IEC, Super Energy Harvester is packaged in a
IP65/NEMA3R enclosure (water and weather resistant) and is designed to conform to UL and IEEE safety standards. There are IEC, Super Energy Harvester options designed for various maximum output voltage limits. These add-ons can be fitted to any PV module, mono or poly-crystalline silicon or thin-film, regardless of output voltage or nominal power rating. All components used in IEC have as long life as the panel.
