Residential Solar: 4 Part Editorial Series

The world has surpassed the critical 1.5°C global warming threshold established in 2015, and the consequences are now evident. In response, governments globally are implementing policies and regulatory reforms to achieve an ambitious goal: tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030. This is why the global capacity to generate renewable power is growing rapidly — faster than any period in the recent past, and the next five years will see the fastest growth yet. Residential solar contributes significantly to this growth and offers a sustainable and cost-effective way for homeowners to generate their own electricity, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and lower their energy bills.

Key takeaways:

  • Explore critical components of residential solar, what to watch out for as a designer or consumer, and Infineon’s role in enabling residential solar solutions
  • Discover the benefits to solar inverter design due to improvements in semiconductor technology
  • Learn how to use power optimizers to enhance the efficiency of residential solar systems
  • Read on the importance of silicon carbide (SiC) in ESS of residential solar power systems
  • Take a look at our simulation study comparing the performance of conventional insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) and CoolSiC™ MOSFETs using the IPOSIM Infineon Power Simulation Tool (PLECS) tool
