• Fraunhofer ISE innovates medium-voltage inverter for efficient utility PV plants.
  • The new inverter boosts voltage to 1,500V at 250 kVA for medium voltage.
  • Research used silicon carbide and heat pipes to improve cooling and cut aluminium use.
  • The 'MSLeiKra' project cuts copper usage by 700kg per km cable.
  • Medium-voltage PV inverters require new standards to be adopted.
