The power landscape is changing dramatically with the growth of renewable energy generation, which is expected to supply more power globally than coal by 2025. This shift to renewable sources also makes reliable power delivery, where and when it’s needed, a bigger challenge than ever before. Infineon’s unique expertise in renewable energy generation, transmission, power conversion and battery management makes Infineon the perfect partner to advance applications across the entire energy supply chain.

Efficient and reliable power semiconductors and inverter technologies are required to convert DC to AC and transmit the power with minimal losses. Depending on their implementation, inverters fall into the categories of micro inverter, power optimizer, string inverter, hybrid inverter, and central inverter. The Infineon portfolio comprises a broad selection of components to build inverters ranging from just a few watts and kilowatts for residential use to several megawatts for commercial and utility-scale markets.
It includes best-in-class discrete OptiMOS™, CoolMOS™ and CoolSiC™ MOSFETS and IGBT in various package options (discrete or highly integrated modules), EiceDRIVER™ gate driver ICs, XENSIV™ current sensors, XMC™ and PSoC™ microcontrollers, AIROC™ wireless connectivity and OPTIGA™ embedded security and authentication solutions. Our wide portfolio enables the perfect match for a wide range of solar applications, including residential, small and large commercial, and utility-scale deployment.
Infineon Solutions for Solar Applications
Micro Inverters
Micro inverters perform power conversion at each individual photovoltaic panel or multi-panel and are often the inverter type used in residential installations. Usually, these inverters are rated below 400W for single PV panels and up to 1.5KW for multiple PV panels. Microinverters typically rely on two-stage power conversion.
The booster or maximum power point tracking (MPPT) stage is used to boost and maximize the energy harvested from the PV panels. Then in the inverter stage, AC voltage is generated which is compatible with single or three phase grid.

The intermittent nature of renewable energy generation means that Energy Storage Systems (ESS) will increasingly play an essential role in our electricity networks. Battery-based ESS technology can respond to power drop-outs in under a second, making use of clean energy sourced from co-located solar or wind plants. In such utility-scale “before-the-meter” cases, ESS functions as bulk storage coupled with either renewables generation or transmission and distribution systems. ESS also plays a role “behind the meter” when found in utility-independent residential and commercial situations.
Energy Storage Systems are structured in two main parts:
- Power Conversion System (PCS) – always bi-directional, the PCS handles AC/DC and DC/AC conversion, with energy flowing into the batteries to charge them or being converted from the battery storage into AC power and fed into the grid.
- Battery management system (BMS) - fulfills two main functions of battery monitoring and protection. In the case of multi-cell batteries, the BMS also provides cell balancing to ensure consistent charge/discharge requirements across individual battery cells.

With the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs), the demand for enhanced semiconductor solutions for charging stations is also increasing. DC Charging systems are an attractive choice because they offer much faster charging than a standard AC EV charger which many EV drivers possess today. A substantial number of fast DC chargers using a broad mixture of different power systems - from private installations and commercial chargers in homes or the city to high power systems along highways – is required to reduce charge time to those on par with today’s ICE refueling experience.
With kilowatt to megawatt power range coverage, Infineon enables you to bring energy-efficient EV charger designs to life across the complete EV charging ecosystem from AC to high-power DC using the broad portfolio of high-quality power semiconductors, microcontrollers, gate drivers and security, and safety authentication solutions.
