This document introduces a fully working, grid-connected solar inverter prototype suitable for rooftop applications. This solar inverter has been equipped with STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh™ and silicon carbide (SiC) devices to allow evaluation of these products in “green” technologies.
The document introduces a fully working, grid-connected solar inverter prototype designed for rooftop applications. It utilizes STMicroelectronics' MDmesh™ technology and silicon carbide (SiC) devices to evaluate their performance in green technologies. The design aims to boost converter performance while reducing size by using 650 V fast power MOSFETs.
The prototype has a maximum power output of 3 kW.
Total efficiency must be at least 97%.
The BOOST stage amplifies the panel voltage into a DC BUS from 400 V to 500 V.
