CDIL Semiconductors Launches Nation’s First Indigenous Solar Bypass Diodes
CDIL Semiconductors has launched the first indigenous Solar Bypass Diodes in the country, marking a significant advancement in solar panel efficiency and longevity. This innovation is a pivotal step in India’s renewable energy goals, promising more reliable and cost-effective solar power solutions for homes, businesses, and industries.
With this new product line, CDIL has increased its production capacity by an impressive 25 million units. Despite solar energy being a cornerstone of India’s clean energy transition, issues such as shading, dust accumulation, and electrical disruptions often compromise performance. CDIL’s Solar Bypass Diodes address these challenges by ensuring a continuous power flow, thereby enhancing energy yield and extending the lifespan of solar panels. This improvement not only boosts reliability but also maximizes the return on investment for solar users.
The launch is in line with the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a national initiative designed to promote residential solar power adoption across India. Prithvideep Singh, General Manager of CDIL Semiconductors, emphasized, “Achieving true energy independence starts with high-quality, domestically manufactured semiconductor components. At CDIL, we have led India’s semiconductor evolution for decades. 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.”
Manufactured at CDIL’s state-of-the-art facility in Mohali, India, these diodes represent a significant achievement in India’s quest for self-reliance in electronics. Designed with industry-leading low forward voltage drop and high thermal stability, CDIL’s Solar Bypass Diodes are tailored to withstand India’s extreme weather conditions. Produced using advanced automation techniques, these diodes offer a cost-effective alternative to imported components, helping to reduce India’s dependency on semiconductor imports while enhancing the performance of its rapidly expanding solar infrastructure.
This launch follows CDIL’s major expansion in late 2023, when the company upgraded its manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing demand for semiconductor components in India’s energy and industrial sectors, with a particular focus on Silicon Carbide technology. With this latest innovation, CDIL reaffirms its crucial role in supporting India’s clean energy transition.
