Parus-Electro: Controller for solar power plants

2024: Start of production

In October 2024, the Moscow electronics manufacturer Parus-Electro announced the start of serial production of the first domestic controller for solar power plants. This device is designed to read and sum the indicators of photovoltaic panels, replacing previously imported foreign counterparts.

According to the company "Parus-Electro," the development of the controller was carried out for more than a year in response to a request from power engineers who were faced with the impossibility of ordering new imported devices and spare parts. Production began at the company's plant in Moscow in September 2024.

The new controller performs the functions of collecting statistical data, reading currents, tracking and signaling failures of solar panels. Until October 2024, more than 90% of such devices used in Russian solar power plants were produced in the countries of the European Union.

A key feature of the domestic controller is its versatility, which allows you to replace a whole range of European manufacturers. This is achieved thanks to the use of a flexible architecture that provides work with both digital and analog communication channels.

Software devices are adapted for various types of equipment, which allows you to "seamlessly" and quickly replace imported devices without modifications and circuitry ON. The controller can be mounted by one person skilled in the art using a basic toolkit.

A project team of four young Parus-Electro engineers worked on the creation of the device, who conducted a full development cycle - from creating software to preparing for serial production.

The controller is undergoing pilot operation at a solar power plant in the Samara region. According to the test results, a large batch of devices has already been pre-ordered^[1]
