Silicon carbide energy storage technology

Why are silicon carbide semiconductors important for solar power generation?

Latest generation silicon carbide semiconductors enable a significant increase in power conversion efficiency in solar power generation systems and associated energy storage.

Which solar energy storage systems can benefit from Wolfspeed silicon carbide MOSFETs?

Solar photovoltaic and wind energy storage systems have multiple power stages that can benefit from Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide MOSFETs, Schottky diodes and power modules, including the Wolfspeed WolfPACK™ family of devices.

What is a Wolfspeed silicon carbide MOSFET?

Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide MOSFETs, Schottky diodes and power modules are the gold-standard for energy storage systems, creating systems that are more efficient and power dense, have simpler circuit topologies that reduce overall cost and size, all while meeting emerging efficiency standards.

What is Wolfspeed silicon carbide?

Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide is capable of incredible reliability and efficiency within battery-based energy storage systems, meaning power is always available even when the sun sets.

Can Wolfspeed silicon carbide save energy?

At the residential and commercial level, energy storage systems save excess power generated during peak times for the building it is tied to. Using Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide in a residential or light commercial buck/boost battery interface circuit can improve charge and discharge efficiency while reducing system cost and size.

What is a large-scale energy storage system?

Larger industrial and utility-scale energy storage systems utilize massive battery storage systems that operate before the meter, storing enough power for large factories or entire utility grids. These large-scale ESS can also benefit from Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide in the buck/boost circuit.
