“The inverter for season three (pictured) features embedded SiC Schottky diodes, making it 2kg lighter than the inverter for season two. Electric efficiency has been increased by 1.7%, while the volume of heat extraction components has been reduced by 30%,” said Rohm. “But this is just a start. In season four, the SiC mosfet integrated inverter will demonstrate drastic changes once again.”
