Abstract: This research presents the development of a three-phase GaN-based photovoltaic (PV) inverter, focusing on the feasibility, reliability, and efficiency of gallium nitride (GaN) technology in solar applications.
The study systematically explores the use of GaN field-effect transistors (FETs), particularly in enhancing the efficiency and power density of PV systems.
The successful construction and testing of the inverter prototype, despite laboratory constraints, not only demonstrates the viability of GaN over traditional silicon-based inverters but also significantly contributes to advancing renewable energy technologies, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable power systems.
CEA-Leti researchers are now offering 650V & 100V GaN/Si power transistors to reduce the cost and size of solar inverters while increasing compactness: GaN/Si are power components made of Gallium Nitride on a low cost 8” Silicon substrate. Such components are already in volume production.
