The project aims to study, assess and quantify the technical and commercial feasibility of a laboratory-proven Gallium Nitride (GaN) Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) technology for solar microinverters. The patented GaN device design enables 30% reduction in the fabrication cost of GaN MOSFET and 45% increase in device reliability. It can potentially reduce the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) for domestic solar applications by 12% as compared to commercial Silicon (Si) based microinverters.

该项目旨在研究，评估和量化实验室预先定义的氮化壳（GAN）金属氧化物半导体磁场效应晶体管（MOSFET）技术的技术和商业可行性。获得专利的GAN设备设计可使GAN MOSFET的制造成本降低30％，设备可靠性提高了45％。与基于商业硅（SI）的微型逆变器相比，它可以将国内太阳能应用的水平成本（LCOE）降低12％。
