Siemens Says ProCharger Meets Safety Requirements

Camarillo-based Siemens Solar Industries says its ProCharger 4JF solar module has met safety, reliability and performance requirements of Underwriter’s Laboratories.

The module has also been approved by the Commission of the European Communities, Siemens said.

ProCharger is used in both consumer and industrial applications in converting solar energy to electrical power. According to Siemens, the module performed well when subjected to 6,000 volts in the European testing. ProCharger also successfully underwent tests in high-humidity and extreme-heat conditions, the company reported.

Designed and developed in Camarillo, ProCharger is used in conjunction with Siemens’ PowerMax monocrystalline solar cell technology, which can deliver peak current in low-light conditions.
