Transphorm join forces with Tata Power Solar

Transphorm has announced that it is partnering with Tata Power Solar, to introduce most efficient solar inverter using Transphorm’s patented EZ-GaNTM technology. This collaboration enhances Tata Power Solar’s position as a solar solutions and technology leader, by launching inverters based on Transphorm’s unique GaN-based power switching platform.

Under the partnership, Transphorm will supply GaN transistors, while Tata Power Solar will locally manufacture and market the GaN-powered solar inverters. The first PV Inverter product is scheduled to be released in early 2015.

“We are pleased to partner with Transphorm to develop indigenous world-leading solar conversion. Our intent is to lead in green energy. The inverter technology being developed has broad applications beyond solar conversion and we anticipate these energy-efficient applications will find usage across various Tata companies,” said Ajay Goel, CEO, Tata Power Solar.

Transphorm’s efficient, compact and easy-to-embed solutions simplify the design and manufacturing of a wide variety of electrical systems and devices, including power supplies and adapters, PV Inverters for solar panels, motor drives and power conversion for electric vehicles.
