New 650 V MOSFET for silicon carbide inverters
CREE has actually created a brand-new MOSFET that could be appropriate for silicon-carbide-based string inverters over 10 kW in dimension. The U.S. producer states changing losses are 20% reduced with the brand-new transistor than with silicon carbide MOSFETs, and also declares that the item minimizes transmission losses by 50%, to use prospective power-density development of 300%.

Inexpensive as well as reliable method to change solar cells from nontransparent to clear
Scientists in Korea have actually discovered a economical and also reliable method to change solar cells from nontransparent to clear. Existing clear solar cells have a tendency to have a red shade as well as reduced performance, yet by punching openings that are around 100? m in size (equivalent in dimension to a human hair) on crystalline silicon wafers, it permits light via without tinting. The holes are after that tactically spaced, so the human eye is not able to "see" the pattern. The job shows up December 11 in the journal Joule.
