ABSTRACT
A power storage system using spherical Si solar cells, lithium-ion battery and a direct current-alternating current (DC-AC) converter was constructed. A small and light inverter system was developed by combining a maximum power point tracking charge controller, direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter, and DC-AC converter. Performance evaluation of the inverter system with SiC field-effect transistors (FET) and Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) was carried out, and the DC-AC conversion efficiencies and their stability of the inverter were improved compared with those of the ordinary Si-FET/SBD based inverter.
