During the last decade, new silicon MOSFETs have been introduced in inverters, and in the future MOSFETs based on SiC and GaN will begin to replace those using silicon. This allows higher frequency switching, which in turn means that reactive components (inductors, capacitors) of lower value and with smaller physical dimensions can be used. A 2kW inverter available in 2010 and weighing over 20 kg, according to the manufacturer´s datasheet, has been replaced in 2016 by a model weighing less than 10 kg. In order for the current transducers used as measurement devices in a PV system to continue to use a negligible part of the overall space and weight budget, the transducer size must also reduce without any performance degradation. Similarly, their cost must reduce to follow the downwards cost trend of the complete inverter system.
