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] This article presents the first kW-Class, 3-phase GaN-based inverter. Hard-switched at 100-kHz PWM, its heart is a 6-in-1 power module with 600-V GaN power HEMTs, achieving a new efficiency of 98.5%, a more than 2% improvement.
[pdf] Battery Chemistry: Consider lead-acid (affordable but shorter life) or lithium-ion (long-lasting and efficient). Make sure the battery voltage aligns with your inverter’s voltage (common options: 12V, 24V, or 48V).
