Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for a modular inverter system having a single device enclosure with a plurality of module receptacles capable of receiving one or more modules having tailored functionality. Such modules work in conjunction with each other to handle control of various power sources and power sinks in a mixed use power generation and consumption system. In various embodiments, these swappable modules include a charge controller module configured to control charging a battery, an inverter/charger module configured to convert an AC voltage to a DC voltage for charging the battery and configured to invert a DC voltage to an AC voltage for supplying AC power, a controller module configured to control the plurality of inverter/charger modules and the charge controller module; and a backplane disposed in the enclosure such that each module receptacle facilitates engaging a respective module with the backplane.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for a module door having a biased latching mechanism providing safety measures to prevent accidental shock or short circuit. In an embodiment, a modular inverter system may include an empty module receptacle that includes a cavity configured to receive any modular power device. The cavity may be covered by a module door that features a rigid door member. The rigid door member may have a hinge set on one edge that is further attached to the enclosure for the module. The hinge allows for the module door to rotate open and closed. The module door further includes a latching mechanism that holds the module door in a closed position when latched. The module door also includes a disengagement orifice that is configured to receive a disengagement protrusion positioned in the back side of a power module about to inserted into the empty module receptacle.
