In the next five to ten years, SiC IGBT chip will get massively utilized in motor controllers (inverters). SiC devices can cut down switching losses significantly, improve system efficiency, reduce dead time, and enhance system output capability. The total cost of battery packs and controllers can drop by 5%, and the mileage range can rise by 10%. Tesla is the first automaker to integrate a full SiC power module in its Model 3. Thanks to its collaboration with STMicroelectronics, the Tesla inverter is composed of 24 1-in-1 power modules assembled on a pin-fin heatsink.

Wagner’s house in Taunton gets light nearly all day (when the sun’s out), a feature he’s turned into an asset.

Servicing the 57 SPS units for their entire working life will save Western Power almost $6 million, compared to traditional network refurbishment, which would otherwise be needed to ensure reliable power supply to rural properties in off or edge-of-the grid areas.

For its part, the Ingeteam inverter makes it possible to connect a PV array and a battery bank to the same unit, thereby reducing the cost of the system as a whole. This is a 3- or 6-kW single-phase transformerless inverter, directed at residential and commercial installations. Thanks to the combination of the Ingeteam inverter and Freedom Won battery, it is possible to store the solar energy generated during the day, to be used for night-time consumption, thereby achieving the highest possible self-consumption rates, and even offering the possibility of reaching complete energy self-sufficiency. Moreover, there is no longer a risk of an electricity supply failure during grid outages.

Stephens said if the market can reach "a few hundred thousand cars" in California, it can be cost-competitive with gasoline. That represents a big jump from the 6,000 cars sold so far, but most new auto markets start with limited production runs. Toyota has said it plans to increase production from 3,000 Mirai units per year to 30,000 cars by 2021. "That is a tenfold magnitude increase."

Providing the most powerful, efficient inverter for on or off-grid solar + storage does come with some new school drawbacks, at least right now. For example, Sol-Ark does not meet California’s Rule 21 criteria.

It’s so sophisticated it can form it’s own micro-grid…..which means the energy generated by your solar panels can be used 100% of the time the sun is shining with or without the grid.

“The cost of products have gone down drastically,” said Melinda Kershaw, director of marketing for Day & Night Solar in Collinsville, which designed both systems. “The cost of labor has gone down, and the panels have increased in production.”
