  • Self-balancing photovoltaic energy storage system and method
    Patent number: 10985570
    Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) energy storage system having a plurality of hybrid cells operable to generate DC electrical power. Each hybrid cell includes at least one solar power generation unit and a power storage device connected in parallel. The power storage devices of the plurality of hybrid cells are connected in series and the DC electrical power derived from the series of these power storage devices energizes a DC power load. The PV energy storage system has an inverter operable to convert DC electrical power into AC electrical power and is electrically coupled to the series of the power storage devices. The PV energy storage system energizes an AC power load, such as a power grid.
