This article proposes a 10kW string inverter based on GaN field-effect transistors (FETs). We will also explore the benefits of GaN and highlight the advantages of building such a system for residential solar applications.
[pdf] After production finishes, the usage stage begins when solar panels go to work converting sunlight into energy. During this period, the power generated by solar PV installations offsets the energy used during the production stage, before delivering renewable energy to the grid.
[pdf] Abstract— This paper introduces a new dc-dc converter suitable for operation at very high frequencies under on-off control. The converter power stage is based on a resonant inverter (the Φ2 inverter) providing low switch voltage stress and fast settling time.
