Ampt Converters
Most reliable and flexible technology for the lowest cost solution
Ampt technology is built around a DC/DC power converter with multi-mode MPPT capabilities and optional wireless communication.
Our active electronics are placed inside the junction box of a PV module. The result is a PV module that lowers system cost, mitigates faults and fire hazards, and extends lifetime energy output.
Most Reliable – We build the most reliable module-integrated power electronics available. Our converters have a 90 million hour demonstrated MTBF, and do not rely on communication for proper operation.
Lowest cost solution – Our patented technology lets PV designers lower system costs by decreasing balance of system (BOS) expenditures while maximizing system capacity.
Inverter compatible – Our converters do not require proprietary inverters for proper operation. This gives integrators the freedom to select the best inverter for their specific project, and opens the marketplace for PV modules with Ampt inside.
Open data interface – Ampt converters do not require communications to operate. That means higher reliability and greater flexibility. However, we do offer wireless communications as an optional feature that is highly accurate and scalable. Module-level information and control features are accessed using Ampt software, or using an open data interface available for integration into 3rd party monitoring platforms.
Ampt-i converters are integrated into PV module junction boxes. These active electronics feature high reliability, multi-mode MPPT and optional wireless communication capabilities.
Ampt-x converters are externally connected with PV modules and mounted to racking. They perform module-level MPPT and have optional wireless communication.
Ampt’s home run diode (HRD) is a blocking diode that is placed in series on the home run wire of a string of PV modules whenever Ampt converters are deployed. The diode prevents a reverse flow of current into the lowest voltage string.
