Solar compliance

National Semiconductor has received product safety, emissions and environmental compliance certifications for its SolarMagic power optimisers.

The device improves the output of solar arrays when affected by real-world conditions such as shade, debris and panel ageing.

TÜV Rheinland of North America performed the testing and certified the optimisers to meet requirements for UL1741 and IEC 61010 safety standards as well as FCC Part 15 (Class A&B) and EN 61000 emissions and immunity standards.

The devices comply with a standard recognised by the photovoltaic industry, the UL1741.

MET Laboratories performed the environmental compliance testing and certified SolarMagic to meet the requirements for IEC60529 (IP68) and NEMA250-2003 Type 6 enclosure. This ensures the product’s electronics are well protected against elements including dirt, water and ice.
