This project is developing and demonstrating a cost-reduction approach for an alternating-current (AC) photovoltaic (PV) module that is driven by innovations in microinverter design, module integration and packaging, and integration with a new intelligent circuit breaker. GE Global Research will develop and demonstrate a new microinverter that is functionally integrated with the AC module to reduce packaging and materials cost for both the microinverter and the module laminate, and a new intelligent circuit breaker that reduces microinverter cost by offloading duplicate safety and protection functions in an AC module system to a dedicated branch circuit.
