By replacing the combiner boxes here with DC - to - DC converters that step up the voltage from the strings to roughly 10x the string voltage of 1,500 volts, we can dramatically improve the cost of wiring and the resistive losses in the wiring, and by using a very large - scale DC - to - AC converter, which is commonly available in the utility industry (used for grid ties globally), and by leveraging that pre-existing technology, we can achieve a very good cost structure from the MVDC point forward to the grid connection,» according to the CTO.
