Aiming to support soaring AI energy demands, Infineon and SolarEdge are partnering to develop next-gen high-efficiency power infrastructure.
Infineon Technologies AG and SolarEdge Technologies have announced a strategic collaboration to advance SolarEdge’s Solid-State Transformer (SST) platform, aimed at powering next-generation AI and hyperscale data centres. The companies will jointly design and validate a modular 2–5 megawatt SST building block that integrates Infineon’s silicon carbide (SiC) switching technology with SolarEdge’s high-efficiency power-conversion architecture.
The new SST platform is expected to deliver more than 99% efficiency and support the industry’s shift toward high-efficiency, DC-based data-centre infrastructure. Solid-State Transformers are seen as a key enabler for future 800-volt DC architectures, offering significant size and weight reduction, improved deployment speed, and lower CO₂ footprint. The jointly developed system will enable direct medium-voltage (13.8–34.5 kV) to 800–1500 V DC conversion, streamlining power distribution from the grid to the compute rack.
“Collaborations like this are key to enabling the next generation of 800-volt DC data centre power architectures and further driving decarbonization,” said Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Infineon. He noted that combining high-performance SiC technology with SolarEdge’s power-management expertise provides a strong foundation for scalable and reliable AI infrastructure.
SolarEdge CEO Shuki Nir said the AI revolution is reshaping global power needs. “The data-centre industry must adopt solutions that deliver higher levels of efficiency and reliability,” he noted, stating that Infineon’s semiconductor innovation strengthens SolarEdge’s push into data-centre power systems.
As AI workloads drive unprecedented global demand for energy, the companies aim to deliver highly efficient, grid-to-rack power systems that lower operating costs and environmental impact across the AI data-centre ecosystem.
