Solar Power International 2011, DALLAS, USA: The Universal PV Interface Alliance (UPVI) announced its launch as an industry consortium dedicated to the development of a standard, universal electrical and mechanical interface between photovoltaic (PV) modules and embedded module-level electronics or cable assemblies.
The UPVI Alliance will enable manufacturers to implement a single interface that is tested and certified to be interoperable with other UPVI-certified products. The UPVI Alliance unifies several parallel efforts to develop a non-proprietary interface, and will ultimately reduce costs, complexity, and technology risk for manufacturers of PV modules, module-level power electronics, junction boxes, and cable assemblies.
The founders of the UPVI Alliance include SunPower, SolarBridge Technologies, SolarEdge, and Tigo Energy. The Alliance welcomes Enecsys and T-Conn Precision Corp. as its first additional members. UPVI members invite all interested companies to attend an informational meeting during Solar Power International on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2011, from 9-10:30 a.m. in the “Industry 1” room at the W Hotel - Victory (2440 Victory Park Lane, Dallas, TX 75219). This event will review the objectives and roadmap of the UPVI effort, and discuss ways that organizations can get involved so as to help influence UPVI standards and related output.
