Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
generating, using a plurality of direct-current/direct-current (DC/DC) power converters, a current through a serial string, wherein the serial string is formed by outputs of the plurality of DC/DC power converters being coupled in series, wherein the plurality of DC/DC power converters comprise at least one controller; adjusting, by each DC/DC power converter of the plurality of DC/DC power converters, a voltage across the outputs of the DC/DC converter according to input power received at inputs of the DC/DC converter;
receiving data from an external sensor, using an external sensor interface of the at least one controller; and regulating, with an overvoltage protection circuit connected in parallel to the serial string, a voltage across the serial string.
