DALLAS, USA: The Universal PV Interface Alliance (UPVI) announced its launch
as an industry consortium dedicated to the development of a standard,
universal electrical and mechanical interface between photovoltaic (PV)
modules and embedded module-level electronics or cable assemblies.
The UPVI Alliance will enable manufacturers to implement a single interface
that is tested and certified to be interoperable with other UPVI-certified
products, said a press release.
The UPVI Alliance unifies several parallel efforts to develop a
non-proprietary interface, and will ultimately reduce costs, complexity, and
technology risk for manufacturers of PV modules, module-level power
electronics, junction boxes, and cable assemblies, the release added.
The founders of the UPVI Alliance include SunPower, SolarBridge
Technologies, SolarEdge, and Tigo Energy.
