Consumer : Renewable Energy : Current Sensing and monitoring

The demand for clean energy sources is growing rapidly worldwide. As a result, production of solar and photovoltaic cells has expanded dramatically. For these applications, efficiency of each and every photovoltaic cell in the array is important to compete with the cost of fossil fuel generated electricity. Hence, the current and voltage of every panel used in this application is precisely monitored to optimize the energy transfer. By precisely measuring the current in these applications, the current sensor ensures that efficiency of the solar power converters is optimal at all times and under all conditions.

The focus here is on improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells, which makes a significant difference in the success of the product in the marketplace. In such solar-power converters, which require smaller currents, the sensor directly monitors the current flowing within a PCB track
