As the core component of distributed photovoltaic systems, microinverters convert the DC electricity generated by solar cells into AC electricity. They face three major challenges: small size, high power density, and harsh outdoor environmental conditions. Thanks to its unique properties, silicone potting compound has become an important protective material.
When the inverter is operating, its internal electronic components generate a large amount of heat due to energy conversion. If this heat cannot be dissipated promptly, the component temperatures will continue to rise. High temperatures accelerate the aging of electronic components, reducing their performance and lifespan, and may even lead to component failure, causing the inverter to shut down and disrupting the power generation efficiency and stability of the entire new energy system.
Insufficient flame retardancy poses a significant safety hazard for inverters. Since new energy systems often operate outdoors or in complex environments, once faults such as circuit short circuits or overloads occur, they can easily trigger fires. Traditional potting materials have poor flame-retardant properties and cannot effectively prevent the spread of fire, potentially leading to inverter burnout and even triggering a chain reaction that causes substantial economic losses and safety risks. Therefore, enhancing the flame-retardant performance of inverters is crucial—not only to reduce economic losses but also to ensure the safety of personnel.
In response to the above pain points, HNSIL8730N Self-adhesive silicone potting compound , it has adhesion to both the device and the housing, providing an ideal solution for new energy inverters.
Compared to other potting compounds, HNSIL8730N In addition to their protective function, silicone thermal potting compounds also possess unique thermal conductivity properties. This advantage enables rapid heat transfer from inside electronic devices to the exterior, effectively reducing the temperature generated by chips, improving device efficiency, and enhancing product reliability and stability.

In addition, HNSIL8730N Silicone thermally conductive potting compound It also has the following advantages:
✅ Moisture- and Water-Resistant Protection: The silicone-based thermally conductive potting compound offers moisture- and water-resistant protection, effectively preventing the ingress of moisture and other harmful substances, thereby safeguarding the internal circuits and components of the PV inverter from damage.
✅Enhanced structural strength: Silicone-based thermally conductive potting compounds can also enhance the structural strength of photovoltaic inverters, improving their seismic resistance and impact resistance.
✅ Sealing of electrical connectors: In the electrical connectors of photovoltaic inverters, silicone thermal-conducting potting compounds are widely used to seal the gaps between plugs and sockets, ensuring the safety and stability of the circuit. By using thermal-conducting potting compounds, the electrical performance and reliability of the equipment can be effectively enhanced.
✅ Sealing of the cooling system: In the cooling system of photovoltaic inverters, silicone-based thermally conductive potting compounds are widely used for inverter inductors. IGBT Filling between the module and the housing. By using thermally conductive potting compound, it is possible to effectively reduce the internal temperature of the device and enhance its stability and reliability.
In summary, it is crucial to use appropriate adhesives for encapsulating and protecting inverters. These adhesives not only ensure the stable operation and extended service life of inverters but also enhance the device's heat dissipation efficiency and overall performance.
