➡ Electric vehicles (EVs) are awesome, but charging them can take a while, especially at home with a regular charger. That’s where the mini DC charger comes in! Designed for fast and efficient charging, the mini DC charger can easily be mounted on your wall.

👉 When it comes to EV charging, we have two types of chargers: AC and DC chargers. AC chargers are regular chargers that are slower and typically used at home. It has a lower output power, ranging from 7kW for single-phase up to 11kW/22kW for three-phase. DC chargers or fast chargers are commonly found at public charging stations. They have higher power outputs which usually exceed 60kW.

⚡ The mini DC charger is right in between these two chargers in terms of charging speed. It charges faster than AC chargers, but not as fast as DC chargers. It typically operates within 20-40kW range.

💡 So, why would you want a mini DC charger?

⏩ One simple reason: faster charging at home! As EV battery capacities increase (some even go up to 100kWh!), it takes longer to charge them with a regular 7kW household AC charger. A mini DC charger can charge your car much faster at home.

⏩ AC chargers usually need an onboard converter (OBC) to convert AC power to DC power. On the other hand, mini DC chargers are able to increase charging power without the need for OBC by incorporating the converter within the charger itself. While mini DC chargers may be smaller in size compared to high-power alternatives, they still offer faster charging rates.

❓ What’s next for mini DC chargers?

⏩ Mini DC chargers are also a good fit for some public places, like shopping malls. They’re not super-fast, but that’s okay because most people usually spend more than one hour in shopping malls. This means that installing high-power DC fast chargers may not be necessary as mallgoers won’t need a full charge within that timeframe. Using mini DC chargers in shopping malls may extend the charging times slightly but it still ensures that EVs are fully charged by the time the users are finished shopping. As a result, this frees up space and keeps the electricity grid happy.

✖ In the future, mini DC chargers could even change how EVs are built! With both AC and DC charging options currently in play, vehicles are equipped with OBCs for AC charging. However, transitioning to mini DC charging allows the removal of the AC charging interface and OBC, simplifying the vehicle design of EVs. It also makes EVs more reliable given the higher failure rate of OBCs. Lastly, removing OBCs also allows for cost savings in terms of materials and after-sales service.

The solar industry has danced between monocrystalline and polycrystalline, each with its own pros and cons. Enter technological innovations, paving the way for more efficient, cost-effective solar modules. But what about the outdoor performance after a year and a half? Let’s break it down.

The Evolution of Solar Tech:

From diamond wire cutting to double-sided wonders, solar tech has witnessed remarkable innovations. But as we push the boundaries of component size, the focus now shifts to enhancing battery efficiency for further cost reduction.

Efficiency Breakdown:

P-type PERC modules have been the stalwarts, reaching around 23% efficiency, but progress has its limits. The real star, however, is N-type TOPCon, boasting a sky-high technical efficiency of 28.7%, with characteristics like low attenuation and high weak light response. It’s the go-to for many industries.

Comparative Power Play:

Enter the big players – TOPCon, HJT, and IBC. SPIC’s 18-month study reveals the following:

TOPCon Triumph: Among the trio, TOPCon steals the spotlight with the highest power generation capacity. Its bifacial ratio and attenuation rate outshine HJT and IBC components.

N-Type Dominance: N-TOPCon, N-HJT, and N-IBC show increasing power generation gains over time and varying temperatures. A note: this conclusion doesn’t extend to P-type IBC batteries in this study.

HJT Hurdles: Heterojunction components face challenges, evident in oxidized and blackened solder ribbons. Despite a higher operating temperature, the attenuation rate remains consistent at 9.37%. A sign that heterojunction manufacturing still has room to grow.

A Note of Caution:

While this data offers insights, it’s a snapshot. Different batches may yield different results, and tech is always on the move. The solar horizon holds endless possibilities. ☀️🔍 #SolarInnovation #RenewableEnergy #TechStudy
