MOSFET Solutions for Solar Inverters
Power MOSFETs and SiC MOSFETs switch solar energy through boost and inverter stages, helping convert DC from the array into usable AC power.
How MOSFETs Convert Solar Energy
The converter first adjusts the array voltage to keep the panels near their best operating point. The inverter bridge then switches the DC bus into a controlled AC waveform for the grid or local loads.
PV Array
Solar panels produce variable DC power as sunlight and temperature change.
MPPT & Boost Stage
The converter adjusts the operating point and raises or regulates the DC bus.
Inverter Power Stage
MOSFETs switch the DC bus into a controlled alternating waveform.
Grid or Local Load
Filtering delivers usable AC power for export, storage or on-site consumption.
MOSFET Options for Solar Inverter Power Stages
High-Voltage MOSFETs
For auxiliary, protection and inverter stages that require dependable voltage margin.
SiC MOSFETs
For high-efficiency and high-power-density designs with demanding switching and thermal targets.
