Latest Patents

Hadar’s listed patents address solar-panel emergency response and photovoltaic string balancing.

“System and Method for Enhanced Watch Dog in Solar Panel Installations” describes a system for automatically shutting down, disconnecting, or reducing the power output of solar panels during an emergency. Master management units communicate with local management units through a handshaking process. When an emergency sensor detects a hazard, the relevant master unit instructs local units to take appropriate action. If communication with a master unit is interrupted, local units can independently shut down, disconnect, or reduce the output of their associated solar-panel strings.

“Enhanced System and Method for String Balancing” describes a photovoltaic system in which panels are connected in series to form a string. A converter receives the string output and generates a direct-current output, which is connected in series with the string output. Together, these outputs help power a bus.

Career Highlights

Hadar’s disclosed inventions address two practical aspects of solar installations: responding to emergencies and managing power in photovoltaic systems. The watchdog system provides for both centrally directed and local responses, while the string-balancing invention combines panel-string and converter outputs in a system bus.

Collaborations

Hadar’s listed coworkers include Shmuel Arditi and James Bickford. His work is associated with Tigo Energy Innovations LLC.

Conclusion

Ron Hadar’s patent work focuses on safety and power management in solar installations, with inventions designed to support emergency response and photovoltaic system operation.
