The development of renewable energy technology strides forward with an innovative collaboration between Semikron Danfoss and ROHM. SMA Solar Technology AG, known for its advanced photovoltaic and storage systems, has integrated Semikron Danfoss’ SEMITRANS 20 module, powered by ROHM's latest 2kV silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, into its new large-scale solar system, the "Sunny Central FLEX."

This cutting-edge development caters to the increasing demand for energy-efficient, high-power systems in the photovoltaic sector. ROHM's 2kV-class SiC MOSFETs are engineered for simple and efficient converter designs suited for 1500V DC links, ensuring reliability and robustness against cosmic radiation. These features are paramount for meeting the rigorous conditions and longevity required by large-scale solar projects.

The collaborative innovation not only highlights advancements in SiC technology but also sets a precedent for the future of grid connections, battery storage systems, and new-age energy projects. As solar and energy storage systems expand, the demand for modules like SEMITRANS 20, optimized for 1500VDC applications, continues to grow. Such modules are now considered ideal for upcoming high-power applications, including electric vehicle charging stations and wind energy converters.

Bernd Gessner of SMA acknowledges the high standards maintained by the Sunny Central FLEX system, citing it as a testament to the collaboration's success. This partnership exemplifies how integration of cutting-edge technologies propels smart energy solutions forward, addressing both present and future needs in the renewable energy landscape.
