India’s CDIL Semiconductors has unveiled the nation’s first indigenous solar bypass diodes that significantly enhance solar panel efficiency and longevity. With the new line, the company has expanded its capacity by 25 million units.
Shading, dust accumulation, and electrical disruptions often affect solar panel performance. Bypass diodes in solar panels allow the current to bypass the affected cells, thus maintaining an uninterrupted power flow, improving energy yield, and extending the lifespan of solar panels. “Achieving true energy independence starts with high-quality, domestically manufactured semiconductor components. At CDIL, we have led India’s semiconductor evolution for decades, and launching the country’s first indigenous Solar Bypass Diodes is a milestone in that journey. By advancing solar technology, we are not only strengthening India’s renewable energy ecosystem but also ensuring that our innovations drive the nation’s self-reliance and global competitiveness in clean energy solutions,” said Prithvideep Singh, General Manager, CDIL Semiconductors.
The diodes are manufactured at CDIL’s facility in Mohali, India. “Engineered with industry-leading low forward voltage drop and high thermal stability, CDIL’s Solar Bypass Diodes are optimized for India’s extreme weather conditions. Manufactured using advanced automation techniques, these diodes provide a cost-effective alternative to imported components, helping India reduce its reliance on semiconductor imports while enhancing the performance of its rapidly growing solar infrastructure,” stated CDIL.
