Patent ID: 11874681

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for maximizing the power of a multi module solar string power generation system, comprising an Injection Circuit (IC), connected to a DC bus and to a string of solar panels, wherein the IC is also connected to at least one separated solar panel of the string. The IC regulates the power production of the connected string and utilizes the excess power to the solar inverter. The IC comprises: (i) a first MPPT mechanism, for finding the MPP of the string; (ii) a second MPPT mechanism, for finding the MPP of the separated panel; (iii) a first DC/DC converter, for converting some of the power, from the separated panel, to regulating power for the connected string; and (iv) a second DC/DC converter, for converting and utilizing, the excess power from the separated panel, to the solar inverter using the DC bus.
