GaN FETs help Solarnative achieve industry-leading power density for solar microinverters, enabling module frame integration to solve the challenges of solar power installation.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— November 2022 Solarnative uses GaN devices in its new microinverter to achieve industry-best power density.  The Power Stick is the smallest inverter in the world, with dimensions of 23.9 by 23,2 by 404 millimeters. With an AC output power of 350 W, the volume of 0.19 liters corresponds to a power density of 1.6 kW per liter. By comparison, the IQ 7A microinverter from a market leading supplier delivers 349 watts with a volume of 1.12 liters, corresponding to 0.31 kW per liter – not even one-fifth of the Solarnative device. Despite the extreme size reduction, the European efficiencies are quite comparable, at 96.0 percent for the Power Stick and 96.5 percent for the IQ 7A.

BRC Solar公司的新型M500/14功率优化器采用EPC公司的100 V 氮化镓器件（EPC2218)，它的占板面积小，可实现更高的频率和额定功率。

BRC Solar公司凭借其功率优化器彻底改变了光伏市场的发展、提高了光伏电站和系统的发电量和性能。其新一代M500/14 功率优化器采用了宜普电源转换公司的EPC2218（100 V的场效应晶体管），实现了更高的功率密度，因为GaN FET的低功耗和小尺寸使关键负载电路更加紧凑。而GaN FET的小寄生电容和电感可实现没有杂讯的开关和良好的EMI特性。GaN FET的另一个优点是没有反向恢复损耗。
