Are SiC Diodes Better for MPPT Converters?
SiC Schottky diodes are usually better than silicon fast-recovery diodes in high-voltage, high-frequency MPPT converters because they have negligible reverse-recovery charge, lower switching loss, and more predictable high-temperature behavior. Silicon fast-recovery diodes can remain cost-effective in lower-frequency or lower-voltage designs where conduction loss and purchase cost matter more than dynamic efficiency. How Do SiC Diodes … Read more
