Abstract:
1. A method of solar energy power creation comprising the steps of: creating a DC photovoltaic output from a string of at least two solar panels; establishing said DC photovoltaic output as a DC photovoltaic input to a photovoltaic DC-DC converter; switching between the steps of traditionally power converting said DC photovoltaic input and improved power converting said DC photovoltaic input; maximum photovoltaic power point converting said DC photovoltaic input into a converted DC photovoltaic output; establishing said converted DC photovoltaic output as at least part of a converted DC photovoltaic input to at least one DC-AC inverter; and inverting said converted DC photovoltaic input into an inverted AC photovoltaic output, wherein said step of improved power converting said DC photovoltaic input comprises a step selected from a group consisting of: alternatingly switching between a first modality of photovoltaic DC-DC power conversion and a second modality of photovoltaic DC-DC power conversion, substantially power isomorphically converting said DC photovoltaic input into a converted DC photovoltaic output, and multimodally converting said DC photovoltaic input into a converted DC photovoltaic output.
