2019/11/11· Seven solar manufacturing start-up firms have each received $1 million to develop a “robust prototype” that they could use as a calling card in seeking private investment. The manufacturing processes the firms are pursuing include two thin-film technologies, silicon wafer splitting, improved metal paste, solar glass coating, a breaker panel with inverter, and a field factory.
For this partnership with JDES, NREL directly contributed to development of the 200 kW 1050 VDC SiC inverter prototype. NREL supported JDES in the thermal management and thermomechanical design of its inverter system to enable the SiC inverter to use the …
“We have an elegant in-house inverter with silicon carbide technology.” he said. “Its connections are super short,” minimizing losses, he added. Rawlinson is a booster of silicon carbide technology and he expressed surprise that Porsche has not employed it for the Taycan.

The research group’s first prototype, a liquid-cooled all-silicon carbide traction drive inverter, features 50 percent printed parts. Initial evaluations confirmed an efficiency of nearly 99 percent, surpassing DOE’s power electronics target and setting the stage for building an inverter using entirely additive manufacturing techniques.
They has been using prototype silicon carbide-based MOSFETs manufactured by CREE, Inc., USA. These are the highest efficiency results reported for photovoltaic inverters to date. Fraunhofer researchers succeeded in reducing the power dissipation of conventional inverters by 30 to 50 percent when compared with results obtained with traditional silicon-based transistors.

Verifiion of Fuel Efficiency Improvement by Appliion of Highly Effective Silicon Carbide Power Semiconductor to HV Inverter 2016-01-1230 A prototype power control unit (PCU) was manufactured using silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors (diodes and transistors), which have low power loss when switching on and off.
Rawlinson said the company’s inverter was built completely in-house and uses a silicon carbide chip, which he said is optimal for high voltages. That also means smaller radiators and higher aerodynamics than either the Taycan or the Tesla Model S , a direct competitor that Rawlinson famously helped develop when he worked at Tesla .
Publiions using Silicon Carbide devices are not new. The focus of the studies, however, differs. In [9], a forced-air cooled 10kW automotive-rated inverter was built. Others have sought to drive up power density, such as [10] and [11]. In [10], a 10kW forced-air
The NC State team has developed an inverter using off-the-shelf components made of the wide-bandgap semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC). “Our silicon carbide prototype can transfer 99 percent of energy to the motor, which is about two percent higher than the best silicon-based inverters,” says Professor Iqbal Husain, who co-authored two papers related to the work.
