onsemi has secured $1.95B in long-term supply agreements (LTSAs) for its intelligent power technologies with leading manufacturers of solar inverters. Thus, contributing to onsemi’s position as the number one power semiconductor supplier in this rapidly growing market.

onsemi offers superior die technology with optimized and customized module design and packaging. For that reason, the company enables solar inverter providers to compete on time-to-market, product development and robust quality assurance. With these benefits, the company has signed LTSAs with eight of the top 10 solar inverter suppliers. Thus, emphasizing the reputation onsemi has earned as a trusted industry partner.

Greater Efficiency, Power Density

Asif Jakwani senior vice president and general manager, Advanced Power Division, Power Solutions Group, onsemi, said, “Solar power has emerged as one of the fastest growing markets. It also offers the most cost-competitive source for large-scale renewable energy installations.”

In addition, Jakwani said, “With onsemi’s intelligent power technologies, customers can achieve greater efficiency and power density. In addition, to save as much energy from the sun as possible to advance our common mission towards a more sustainable future.”

Solar inverters convert Direct Current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels to grid-compatible Alternating Current (AC). In the conversion process, some energy may turn as heat. onsemi’s technology enables solar inverters – ranging from utility to residential – applications to be smaller, lighter, and more efficient. Thus, energy loss and can reduce the overall system cost.

Power technologies enable energy efficient solutions across all applications by providing improved power factor. In addition, they also provide enhanced active-mode efficiency and reduced standbymode power consumptions. Thus, onsemi’s intelligent power technologies allow customers to exceed range targets. At the same time, offers lower weight and reduce system cost through efficiency.
