The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of Washington (UW) to design, develop, and fabricate prototype solar photovoltaic (PV) systems featuring wide-bandgap string inverters and decentralized controls. The design would enable the systems to produce medium voltage alternating current directly and, consequently, function without a transformer.
