A lot of research and development is occurring in power conversion associated with solar string inverters. The aim is towards preserving the energy harvested by increasing the efficiency of power conversion stages and by storing the energy in distributed storage batteries. Increasing reliability of the system also has been another area of continued focus. In this context, some emerging technologies like usage of new Wider Band Gap (WBG) semiconductors for power conversion and Differential Power Processing (DPP) in panel power optimization are some of the new trends discussed in this section.
