Canadian Solar Introduces Intelligrated Power Product Featuring New CommercialAC Module
Canadian Solar, Inc. launched its Intelligrated™ Power module series.
Intelligrated Power integrates the intelligence of panel electronics with specially-designed modules to deliver state-of-the-art features that maximize system performance, simplify installation and improve safety, significantly reducing cost of design and installation. The first product in the line, CommercialAC, integrates module and inverter into one high-performing module that dramatically simplifies commercial system design and installation. Beginning with CommercialAC, the complete Intelligrated Power product offering will eventually support all market segments.
"The global solar market demands constant innovation and improvement of technology, performance, pricing and safety. Our Intelligrated Power CommercialAC module introduces a new technology that meets and exceeds current commercial solar market demands," said Dr. Shawn Qu, CEO of Canadian Solar.

CommercialAC is the first three-phase grid-ready AC solar module and inverter combination designed specifically for commercial installations. Integrating Canadian Solar’s specially designed solar module with the new sequenced inverter technology, the AC module dramatically simplifies system design - with no need for central or string inverter, or module and string sizing.
Built with new hot spot suppression technology that eliminates diodes, the rugged inverter components are more reliable and durable than standard microinverters. CommercialAC is inherently safe with no high-voltage DC and no arc faulting. The "plug and play" module simplifies design and on-the-spot system modifications reducing the need for highly skilled labor while at the same time providing cost savings on design, labor and balance of system.
Opinion: Local Power Distribution with Nanogrids
The CommercialAC module and sequenced inverter are covered by Canadian Solar’s 25-year warranty. In addition, CommercialAC is "double protected" by matching warranty insurance underwritten by A.M. Best-rated insurance carriers.
Intelligrated Power CommercialAC modules will be available in early 2012.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
