These advanced modules feature liquid-cooled bidirectional technology, designed to enhance grid stability while delivering reliable charging performance for electric vehicles. The innovation addresses critical challenges, including ensuring reliability at scale and seamless grid integration within the global charging infrastructure.

"The EV charging infrastructure must evolve beyond basic power delivery to become an integral part of our energy ecosystem," said SOLUM CEO Sungho Jeon. "Our 50kW EV charger power module demonstrates how next-generation chargers can enhance grid stability while ensuring reliable charging experiences."

At CES, SOLUM showcases its new 50kW power module lineup, featuring liquid-cooled bidirectional variants engineered for enhanced environmental durability and resilience. The liquid cooling system, which replaces traditional cooling fans, enables fully sealed operation-delivering exceptional performance even under extreme conditions such as high-temperature regions or demanding industrial environments.

SOLUM's modules incorporate intelligent features, such as self-diagnostic capabilities along with integrating Over-The-Air (OTA) updates. These features allow the system to monitor potential issues, such as system overloads and short circuits, in real time. Global charging operators can leverage this enhanced technology to manage their networks remotely, helping reduce operational costs and ensure consistent uptime for users.

The bidirectional power control technology integrated into SOLUM's modules also proves to be highly valuable in terms of grid support. By enabling charged vehicles to act as distributed energy resources, the modules facilitate energy feedback into homes or the grid during peak demand. This functionality supports regions experiencing grid stress caused by rapid EV adoption or growing reliance on renewable energy sources.

"We have received positive feedback from our testing with European EV charger manufacturers," noted CEO Jeon, "We aim to secure sales certifications in Korea, Europe, and the United States by April 2025. Additionally, our 30kW modules are already being integrated into major charging manufacturers' lineups."
