Today,onsemi released the newest generation silicon and silicon carbide hybrid Power Integrated Modules (PIMs) in an F5BP package, ideally suited to boost the power output of utility-scale solar string inverters or energy storage system (ESS) applications. Compared to previous generations, the modules offer increased power density and higher efficiencies within the same footprint to increase the total system power of a solar inverter from 300kW up to 350kW. This means a one-gigawatt (GW) capacity utility-scale solar farm using the latest generation modules can achieve an energy savings of nearly two megawatts (MW) per hour or the equivalent of powering more than 700 homes per year. Additionally, fewer modules are required to achieve the same power threshold as the previous generation, which can reduce power device component costs by more than 25%.
