  • Module for storing/drawing electricity in/from an electric accumulator applicable to photovoltaic systems, a photovoltaic system and a method of upgrading a photovoltaic system
    Patent number: 10164437
    Abstract: The module according to the present invention is used for accumulating/drawing electricity in/from an electric accumulator (502); the module comprises first terminals and second terminals; the first terminals are adapted to be connected to a photovoltaic panel (501) and to an inverter (504), and the second terminals are adapted to be connected to the electric accumulator (502); the module comprises a conversion unit (503) adapted to be connected between the first terminals and the second terminals; the conversion unit (503) comprises, in turn, a two-way DC/DC converter (550) adapted to convert a first energy flow generated by the photovoltaic panel (401, 501) to store it in the accumulator (502) and a second energy flow drawn from the accumulator (502) to supply it to the inverter (504), the two-way DC/DC converter (450, 550) is configured to convert said first energy flow and said second energy flow in a selective manner.
