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] 3-phase string inverters perform power conversion on series-connected photovoltaic panels. Usually, these inverters are rated around a few kilowatts up to 350 kW. In general, most inverter designs are transformerless or non-isolated. String inverters typically rely on two-stage power conversion.
[pdf] The MPPT operating voltage range for most string inverters is between 80V and 600V, depending on the inverter make and model. The voltage range for Solar MPPT charge controllers is generally much lower and varies from 24V up to 250V.
