# 2024 Solar Integrated SST |
The Solar Integrated Solid-State Transformer addresses challenges in conventional electricity generation by seamlessly integrating solar power with the AC grid. Utilizing advanced power electronic converters and medium-frequency transformers (20kHz), this system offers a compact and efficient alternative to bulky traditional transformers. It significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels, decreases carbon emissions, and provides a flexible, environmentally friendly solution for electricity generation, with the grid serving as a backup power source
