Domestic Sourcing for Renewable Power Electronics

The electrification of everything, from solar inverters and wind converters to EV chargers and electrolyser rectifiers, is driving demand for power electronics that the industry has frankly never seen before. Geopolitical tensions and supply chain shocks have laid bare how fragile it is to rely on a single geography for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), SiC MOSFETs, capacitors, and magnetics. The push for domestic manufacturing of these Tier-2 components outside of East Asia is now a strategic imperative with significant government incentives tied to it.
