An important issue in the PV sector is Potential Induced Degradation or PID, the deterioration of solar panels due to the high voltages that occur during the day and cause leakage currents to the earth. This phenomenon has been [...]
The PIDbox of iLumen increases the efficiency of solar modules and extends their life. Independent research by Thomas More College, KU Leuven Association, shows an average efficiency gain of 7.5% after installation of this patented device. Thanks to the [...]
The efficiency-enhancing PIDbox of iLumen is distributed today in more than 40 countries. Recently, we received the results of an interesting reference project in Italy of a PV plant with SolarEdge technology that was equipped with a PIDbox. The power [...]
Several owners of solar panels use the so-called ‘power optimizer’ products of SolarEdge. As described earlier, the PIDbox of iLumen is the only solution in the market that is compatible with these products.The power optimizers try to achieve a [...]
A few months ago iLumen submitted its candidacy for participation in the trade mission ‘Green Energy Technologies’ to Korea, organized by the European Union. The jury has withheld the dossier about the PIDbox, the patented device that increases the [...]
Recently a solar plant of almost 1 MWp was realized by a local PV installer at the ToyChamp distribution center in Genk, located in the Flemish part of Belgium. The installation was equipped with the PIDbox technology of iLumen. The [...]
Characteristic for PV installations is that they will underperform as a result of Potential Induced Degradation or PID. As a solution, iLumen developed the PIDbox. This patented device is installed between the solar panels and the inverter to regenerate [...]
Over time, solar modules suffer efficiency losses due to Potential Induced Degradation. To cope with this phenomenon, iLumen developed the PIDbox, a device that increases the efficiency of solar panels and extends their lifespan. In order to obtain the highest [...]
A few months ago iLumen submitted its candidacy for participation in the trade mission ‘Green Energy Technologies’ to Japan, organized by the European Union. The jury has withheld the dossier about the PIDbox, the patented device that increases the [...]
Characteristic for PV installations is that they will underperform as a result of Potential Induced Degradation or PID. PID occurs on all photovoltaic panels, often without the owner of the installation being aware of it. PID can occur within weeks [...]
From Wednesday, May 15 through Friday, May 17, iLumen will participate as an exhibitor at Intersolar Europe in Munich, the world’s largest trade fair in the solar panel sector. iLumen will present its product innovations, including the PIDbox, to the [...]
Potential Induced Degradation (PID) occurs on all photovoltaic modules often without the owner of the installation being aware of it. Because of this phenomenon the solar modules degrade faster and therefore don’t achieve the expected return during their lifetime. [...]

In collaboration with official reseller Cleanglobe, iLumen currently participates in Solarex. This renowned solar energy exhibition takes place in Istanbul from Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 april. Solarex is an extremely suitable platform where the newest technologies in the [...]
The Provincial Institute Lommel (Provil) recently developed a number of strategic goals for sustainable development. In November 2015, the ‘STEM-building’ project was conceived and started in this context. The STEM building is an innovative and sustainable BEN building (almost energy [...]
During the weekend of September 22 and 23, iLumen organized a number of information sessions on Circuit Zolder about the most hot topics in the PV sector. Product innovations such as the efficiency-increasing PIDbox and home battery iLubat were also [...]
Today iLumen is active in no less than 40 countries with its efficiency-increasing PIDbox. The Dutch journalist Warna Oosterbaan of newspaper NRC Handelsblad is one of the many foreign customers of iLumen.“For nearly six years now, I am a [...]
iLumen has won the Energy Globe Award Belgium. Experts from the Energy Globe evaluation committee evaluated more than 2.000 submissions from about 180 countries and designated iLumen’s patented PIDbox as the winner of the Belgian submissions. The PIDbox is a [...]
Tessenderlo-based engineering firm iLumen developed the PIDbox a few years ago. This patented device boosts the performance of solar panels and extends their lifetime. The PIDbox is currently sold on both consumer and professional markets in some 40 countries. In [...]
The PIDbox of iLumen increases the yield of PV modules and extends their life. The patented device is unique in the sense that it works independently of the inverter so warranty is never void. The PIDbox Mini is installed in [...]
