Photovoltaic inverter anti-PID module
During periods when the photovoltaic system is in active operation, the Anti-PID module of Canadian Solar inverters raises the electrical potential between the negative pole of the photovoltaic string and ground to a controlled positive value. The PID attacks the solar cell and significantly degrades its performance from the first day the PV plant begins operation. In addition to their primary function of converting DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current), inverters have evolved to incorporate advanced technologies. Potential Induced Degradation (PID) is a phenomenon which affects some PV modules with crystalline Si cells and leads to gradual deterioration of performance, reaching up to 30 percent and more after a few years. Some module manufacturers are already working to develop countermeasures by using new.
