... I thought GaN was best for lower voltage applications. This looks like a job for silicon carbide.
I think that GaN will eventually beat out SiC for the high-voltage market at least up to a kV or two, but it will still take a while to design and qualify especially as most (all?) companies in the GaN power market are growing the GaN on Silicon, which is not the easiest way to grow GaN.
I know that Transphorm has 600V GaN parts available, not widely available at the moment but they will be providing samples to qualified participants in this contest.
