Morgan Solar引领太阳能技术创新
“在这样的大公司工作,你必须保证准时交付。”Tiwana说。“Altium Designer的各种功能可以使设计师的工作轻松不少,更能在加快产品上市速度的同时保证产品质量。”
了解Morgan Solar如何在Altium Designer的帮助下突破太阳能技术瓶颈。
Morgan Solar was founded in 2007 with the vision of making unsubsidized solar energy more competitive, accessible and cost-effective for a global market. Their mission is to make solar energy the most widely used and affordable power source in the world, and their patents on state-of-the-art solar panels and solar tracking systems helping their goals exponentially.
In an industry that is becoming more competitive each year, ventures like Morgan Solar have had to consistently think outside of the box by developing technologies that push the boundaries of solar energy production. Product costs have decreased significantly over the past decade, increasing the urgency to develop and patent newer, more ubiquitous solar energy solutions.
“The solar market has changed dramatically — it is moving very, very fast. Compared to where we started in this company, prices have dropped about tenfold, so we’ve had to constantly innovate to keep up and to try to stay ahead of the curve,” said Dr. Stefan Myrskog, VP of Control Systems at Morgan Solar.
And so, Morgan Solar turned to Altium software to help accommodate less forgiving production timelines and increase product turnover.
“你可以从原理图中按照特定顺序选择元器件然后按照该顺序重新定位摆放。其布局的逻辑性非常合理。”
Technology that Moves at the Speed of Light
With Altium Designer, engineers have significantly increased design productivity with tools that are easy to learn, easy to use, and help streamline everyday design workflows. Among them is the ability to optimize component placement and create their own set of rules in the schematic.
“You can select the components in the schematic and in a particular order, then you can reposition them”, said Gurdarshan Tiwana, Lead Hardware Design Engineer at Morgan Solar. “It’s wonderful — for the logical placement it makes a lot of sense.”
Automated routing technology like ActiveRoute gives his team the freedom to route boards quickly and accurately without worrying about variances in voltage, current density, or determining how much space is needed for clearance.
The Find Similar Objects dialogue also gives designers the ability to easily set up search criteria that uses the attributes of target objects as a reference for finding similar objects, saving engineers considerable design time.
Morgan Solar在其工作流程中采用Altium Designer后,设计效率提高、产品上市时间缩短并可确保交付的太阳能产品性能稳定、质量优良。
Taking the Lead in Solar Energy Innovation
By incorporating Altium Designer into their workflow, Morgan Solar has been able to increase design efficiency, reduce their time to market, and deliver consistent, high-quality solar energy products. Their engineering team has fine-tuned their design process to optimize the production of high-efficiency solar tracking systems and state-of-the-art solar modules that are not only disrupting the market, but significantly impacting the way we generate and consume electricity.
For electronics designers at Morgan Solar, ease of use and tools that drive design productivity are key in helping to fulfill their brand vision. “You have to deliver, and working for a company of this size it’s very important to deliver something on time”, said Tiwana. “In the end, all of the features in Altium Designer make the life of the engineer easier, the time to market faster, and give you a trouble-free product,” Tiwana adds.
