Global and U.S. Fluorene Polyester Film Capacitors Market Report, Published by QY Research.

A solar inverter manufacturer in Germany faced recurring failures in its DC-link capacitors due to high ripple current, thermal stress, and long-term voltage degradation. The polypropylene (PP) film capacitors used in the design began to exhibit dielectric fatigue and capacitance drift when exposed to elevated temperatures inside compact inverter housings. These failures reduced inverter efficiency, caused thermal shutdowns, and increased warranty claims-especially during peak summer operation.

To solve the issue, the R&D team replaced the PP capacitors with Fluorene Polyester Film Capacitors, which use a specialized fluorene-based polyester dielectric known for high glass-transition temperature, excellent thermal endurance, and superior voltage stability. This dielectric maintains low ESR, high insulation resistance, and stable capacitance even under sustained high-temperature and high-frequency ripple conditions. After implementation, the inverter's DC-link section demonstrated a 3× increase in lifespan, significantly lower internal temperature rise, and improved power-conversion efficiency. The reduced thermal drift enabled tighter control loops in the inverter, expanding operational reliability in solar farms, EV chargers, and industrial drives. Today, fluorene polyester film capacitors are widely used in renewable power electronics, automotive powertrains, aerospace converters, medical imaging systems, and rail traction inverters where long-life, high-temperature stability is critical.
