Vincotech Introduces Power Modules for Solar Inverters

May 26, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Vincotech GmbH announced the release of two new product families dedicated to solar inverter applications. Designed for maximum efficiency and using state of the art chip technologies, the flowSOL 0 BI and flowSOL 0 RI families cover solar inverter systems of up to 10kW.

These families meet the needs of both isolated and non-isolated solar system topologies. Non-isolated systems are catered for by a single module solution from flowSOL 0 BI (Boost + Inverter). A two-module solution, combining members with optimised chipsets from flowSOL 0 BI and flowSOL 0 RI (Rectifier + Inverter), address the non-isolated solar inverter market.

Vincotech’s solar modules reach a maximum European Efficiency (EE) of 99.3%; achieved via the optimized module design and the combination of the latest chip technologies, such as SiC diodes and CoolMOS™. Low-cost versions featuring fast Si diodes instead of SiC are also offered.

The modules are housed in Vincotech’s proven flow 0 package. At 33 x 66 x 12mm and featuring its unique clip-in mechanism, the company says the flow 0 is one of the most compact and easy-to-handle packages in the power module market.
