CDIL Semiconductors has launched India’s first domestically manufactured solar bypass diodes, a breakthrough that enhances solar panel efficiency and durability. With this expansion, the company has increased its production capacity by 25 million units.
Solar panels often face performance issues due to shading, dust accumulation, and electrical disruptions. Bypass diodes enable the current to flow around affected cells, ensuring uninterrupted power generation, improved energy yield, and extended panel lifespan.
Prithvideep Singh, General Manager, CDIL Semiconductors, highlighted the significance of this milestone “Achieving true energy independence starts with high-quality, locally manufactured semiconductor components. CDIL has been at the forefront of India’s semiconductor evolution for decades, and the launch of our indigenous Solar Bypass Diodes is a key milestone. By advancing solar technology, we are not only strengthening India’s renewable energy sector but also driving self-reliance and global competitiveness in clean energy solutions.”
Manufactured at CDIL’s Mohali facility, these diodes are designed with low forward voltage drop and high thermal stability, making them well-suited for India’s extreme weather conditions. Leveraging advanced automation, CDIL’s diodes offer a cost-effective alternative to imported components, reducing India’s dependence on semiconductor imports while boosting the efficiency of its fast-growing solar infrastructure.
