Wolfspeed’s 2.3kV LM Pack Module being integrated into Hopewind’s 950Vac Wind Power Converter

Wolfspeed Inc is collaborating with Hopewind to integrate its 2.3kV LM Pack Module into Hopewind’s 950Vac Wind Power Converter. This partnership aims to enhance wind power solutions, increasing power density by up to 38% and achieving a high switching frequency of 6kHz. The LM Pack Module, expected to be commercially available in early 2026, promises improved efficiency, reliability, and reduced system costs, aligning with the growing demand for advanced renewable energy technologies. Hopewind has also been recognized as a tier-1 photovoltaic inverter manufacturer by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

Wolfspeed Inc of Durham, NC, USA — which makes silicon carbide (SiC) materials and power semiconductor devices — is collaborating with renewable energy solutions firm Hopewind of Shenzhen City (one of the largest wind power converter suppliers in China). Together, the two firms will advance the development of the next generation of wind power solutions by integrating Wolfspeed’s 2.3kV LM Pack Module into Hopewind’s highly modular and lightweight 950Vac Wind Power Converter.

Hopewind’s product utilizes silicon carbide devices and high-reliability packaging technology to achieve an increase in power density of up to 38% and a high switching frequency of up to 6kHz, significantly increasing efficiency and reliability. The collaboration between Wolfspeed and Hopewind is expected to accelerate the development of next-generation wind power solutions for markets worldwide.

Wolfspeed’s 2.3kV LM Pack Module is said to offer substantial system benefits, including simplified system design, higher efficiency, increased power density, and improved reliability — key factors that reduce overall system cost and provide superior performance for large-scale wind power applications. The 2.3kV LM Pack Module is expected to be commercially available in early 2026.

“Our 2.3kV LM Pack Module is perfectly aligned with the growing demand for higher-voltage, higher-current and higher-efficiency systems in the wind power sector,” reckons John Perry, VP & general manager, Medium- and High-Voltage Products at Wolfspeed. “This collaboration not only strengthens Wolfspeed’s position as a trusted long-term SiC provider, but also helps meet the increasing global demand for renewable energy solutions.”

Hopewind was recently name to the list of photovoltaic inverter manufacturers that meet the tier-1 standards of the energy research institution Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). There are only seven companies worldwide that have made it to tier-1 level, affirming Hopewind’s global competitiveness in the field of photovoltaics.
