CDIL Semiconductors has introduced India’s first domestically developed solar bypass diodes, enhancing solar panel efficiency and durability. The company has expanded its production capacity by 25 million units with the launch of this new product.
Bypass diodes ensure uninterrupted power flow in solar panels by redirecting current around shaded or damaged cells. This technology improves energy output and extends the lifespan of solar modules, especially in conditions affected by dust, shading, or electrical disruptions.
“True energy independence starts with high-quality, locally made semiconductor components,” said Prithvideep Singh, general manager of CDIL Semiconductors. “We have been at the forefront of India’s semiconductor evolution for decades. Launching the country’s first indigenous solar bypass diodes marks a significant milestone in this journey. Our innovations strengthen India’s renewable energy ecosystem and boost self-reliance in clean energy solutions.”
CDIL manufactures these diodes at its Mohali facility. The company highlights that its solar bypass diodes feature a low forward voltage drop and high thermal stability, making them ideal for India’s extreme weather conditions.
The diodes are produced using advanced automation, offering a cost-effective alternative to imported components. CDIL aims to reduce India’s dependency on semiconductor imports while improving the efficiency of the nation’s expanding solar infrastructure.
By developing indigenous solar bypass diodes, CDIL takes a step toward strengthening India’s position in the global renewable energy market. The innovation aligns with the country’s push for self-reliance in critical technologies and supports the long-term growth of its solar power sector.
