  • SMART PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES WITH HIGH DC-AC RATIOS
    Publication number: 20140375132
    Abstract: A smart photovoltaic (PV) module includes a PV laminate configured to receive solar energy and provide a direct current (DC) power output, and a DC power manager (DCPM) electrically connected to the PV laminate to receive the DC power output of the PV laminate. The DCPM includes a DC/DC power converter configured to receive the DC power output from the PV laminate and provide a module DC power output, and a controller operatively connected to the DC/DC power converter. The controller is configured to control operation of the DC/DC power converter to produce the module DC power output at substantially the maximum power point of the PV laminate.
