SiC Modules in Solar Inverters

SiC Modules in Solar Inverters

By leveraging Qorvo’s advanced SiC FET technology, Qorvo’s SiC modules significantly enhance thermal performance through reduced R DS(on) and switching losses. Discover how these easy-to-use SiC modules can revolutionize your solar inverter design.

In almost every case, the DC output from solar panels needs conversion to standard AC line voltages to operate existing loads or to feed into the grid.

PV installations vary in scale from an incidental power source in a domestic micro-grid generating a few hundred watts, to utility-scale, providing thousands of megawatts. In just about all cases, the DC from the solar panels needs conversion to standard AC line voltages to be compatible with existing loads or to feed into the grid. The panel DC is usually boosted to a DC-link using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller; optional batteries on the DC-link provide continuity of supply and an inverter, often bi-directional, generates line AC.
