Abstract:
1. A controllable change-over apparatus for a solar module, comprising: an output terminal; a DC/DC converter; a controllable switching device with a first switch position and a second switch position; and a control for controlling the controllable switching device for switching the controllable switching device to the first switch position or the second switch position by using a performance characteristic present at the power output of the solar module or a performance characteristic present at the output terminal, wherein, in the first switch position, a power output of the solar module is only connected to the output terminal via a first path comprising the DC/DC converter, and wherein, in the second switch position, the power output of the solar module is only connected to the output terminal via a second path bypassing the DC/DC converter.
