The main function of the Solar Charge Controller is to manage the charging and discharging process between the Solar Panel and the battery in the solar power generation system. Its main function is to protect the battery from overcharge and over-discharge damage, ensure battery charging efficiency, and stabilize the operation of the solar power generation system. eco worthy solar charge controller, solar panel controller types, solar charge controller and inverter, solar cell controller, solar panel battery charge controller Ningbo Autrends International Trade Co., Ltd. , https://www.aitsolarpanels.com
"There is no plan to raise prices." Bian Difei, vice president of Huacan Optoelectronics, said that the company does face short-term capacity shortages and tight supply and demand, but will not raise prices.
At present, the chips used by domestic LED packaging manufacturers have gradually become localized, mainly supplied by manufacturers such as Sanan Optoelectronics, Huacan Optoelectronics, and Silan Micro. Domestic LED packaging manufacturers such as Jufei Optoelectronics and Ruifeng Optoelectronics have also increased their purchases of Sanan Optoelectronics chips in recent years.
Some manufacturers of packaging manufacturers have reported that the current inventory of LED chip manufacturers is really small. If downstream packaging customers do not communicate well in advance, there may be situations in which they need to wait for supply.
Ruifeng Optoelectronics believes that the price increase of the chip is unlikely. At present, the entire LED lighting market has shown a trend of price cuts. The price of upstream LED chips will also slowly decline in the long run. Due to short-term supply shortages, prices will remain stable. LED chip manufacturers mainly reduce costs through technology upgrades to ensure their gross profit margins, unlike other industries to increase profits through price increases.
In the past, chip manufacturers have tried to raise prices. At about the same time last year, due to the recovery of the European and American markets, the lighting chip was in short supply. Sanan Optoelectronics raised the price in a timely manner, but soon found that the market share had shrunk and then returned the original price. Some industry insiders believe that unless all chip manufacturers unanimously announce price increases, a single-vendor price increase will mean giving up market share.
On the other hand, the recent shortage of LED chips may not be the norm. At present, Sanan Optoelectronics, Huacan Optoelectronics and other manufacturers are actively expanding production capacity, which will effectively alleviate the current lack of capacity of upstream chips.
The recent shareholder meeting of Huacan Optoelectronics passed the expansion plan of the third phase of the LED sub-chip of Suzhou Subsidiary. The project invested 1.184 billion yuan and is expected to be put into operation at the end of this year, releasing 656,000 pieces of 4-inch LED epitaxial wafers. LED chip production capacity of 26.24 billion. Together with the full capacity of the first and second phases of the base, after the third phase of the project is completed, Huacan Suzhou will achieve an annual production capacity of 1.147 million wafers and a chip production capacity of 63.62 billion.
Sanan Optoelectronics Wuhu Photoelectric Industrialization (Phase II) project will also start construction in the near future. In addition, the company will set up a subsidiary in Xiamen to increase the production capacity of LED chips. The total investment of the project is 10 billion yuan. The total scale of 200 MOCVD (a kind of equipment needed for the production of LED epitaxial wafers) will start 100 units in the first phase. year.
Main effect:
Charge control: The solar charge controller controls the charging process by monitoring the voltage and current generated by the solar panel to ensure that the battery is charged at the appropriate voltage and current to extend the battery life.
Overcharge protection: The solar charge controller can monitor the charging status of the battery, and when the battery is fully charged, it will automatically stop charging to avoid battery damage caused by overcharging.
Over-discharge protection: The solar charge controller can monitor the discharge state of the battery. When the battery power is lower than a certain level, it will automatically stop discharging to avoid battery damage caused by over-discharge.
Differences from other charge controllers:
The solar charge controller is a charge controller specially designed for solar power generation systems, the main differences are as follows:
Applicable Energy: The solar charge controller is suitable for solar power generation systems, mainly used to manage the charging and discharging process between solar panels and batteries. While other charge controllers may be suitable for different energy generation systems, such as wind energy, hydro energy, etc.
Charging characteristics: The solar charge controller is optimized for the characteristics of the solar panel, and can control the charging process according to the output power and voltage characteristics of the solar panel. Other charge controllers may be optimized for different types of energy generation characteristics.
Protection function: Solar charge controllers usually have overcharge protection and over-discharge protection functions to ensure the safe charging and discharging of batteries. Other charge controllers may have different protection functions, depending on the needs of the application scenario.
Overall, the main role of the solar charge controller is to manage the charging and discharging process in the solar power generation system, protect the battery from damage, and stabilize the system's operation. Compared with other charge controllers, it is optimized for the characteristics of solar power generation systems and has unique functions such as overcharge protection and over-discharge protection to meet the needs of solar power generation systems.
LED chip short-term supply and demand tight manufacturers no price increase plan
In the first quarter of this year, the sales of LED lighting manufacturers surged, driving the supply and demand of the LED industry. The decline in upstream chip inventory has also raised concerns in the industry about chip price increases. However, the Securities Times reporter learned from a number of chip manufacturers that these manufacturers currently have no price increase plan, and in the second half of the year, with the release of some production capacity, it is expected to ease the tight supply situation.
