Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between SIC and silicon inverters?

During the conversion process, some energy is lost as heat. State-of-the-art silicon inverters operate at 98% efficiency, whereas SiC inverters can operate at about 99% over wide-ranging power levels and can produce optimal quality frequency. While the 1% increase in efficiency might seem small, it represents a 50% reduction in energy loss.

Are silicon carbide inverters the foundation of next-generation high-performance converters?

Silicon carbide (SiC) devices can break through the technical limitations of silicon (Si) devices. Thus, SiC devices are considered as the foundations of next-generation high-performance converters. Aimed at the photovoltaic (PV) power system, this study surveys state-of-the-art of PV inverters.

Why do solar inverters use silicon MOSFETs?

Silicon MOSFETs, by contrast, are primarily used in lower-power applications within solar inverters due to their fast-switching speeds and low gate drive power requirements. These characteristics enhance overall efficiency, particularly in compact, high-frequency inverter designs.

Can silicon carbide improve the performance of PV inverters?

Nowadays, silicon (Si)-based devices, including Si insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and Si diode, are commonly used in inverters. However, over the past four decades, the performance of Si devices has reached its boundary . Recently, silicon carbide (SiC)-based devices are used to improve the performance of PV inverters .
