Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation photovoltaïque (1) destinée à la conversion d'une tension continue, provenant d'un générateur photovoltaïque (2), en une tension alternative. Ladite installation comporte un onduleur (3) sans transformateur qui a des unités de commutation cadencées à haute fréquence, dont l'entrée de tension continue (7) est reliée au générateur photovoltaïque (2) et dont la sortie de tension alternative (8) est reliée à un dispositif de génération de prétension (43) et à un dispositif de découplage HF inductif (52) montés en série. Le dispositif de génération de prétension (43) sert à appliquer à l'entrée de tension alternative (8) de l'onduleur (3) un potentiel de prétension, par lequel le potentiel de tension à l'entrée de tension continue (7) de l'onduleur (3) est influencé indirectement. De ce fait, on peut prédéfinir le potentiel sur le générateur photovoltaïque (2) pour qu'il soit adapté à la mise en œuvre de modules photovoltaïques à couches minces ou de modules photovoltaïques cristallins avec mise en contact des cellules au dos. Le dispositif de découplage HF inductif (52) sert au découplage HF du côté tension alternative du côté tension continu de l'onduleur (3) afin d'éviter, par la mise en œuvre du dispositif de génération de prétension (43), des courants de fuite capacitifs induits sur le générateur photovoltaïque (2). Une combinaison selon l'invention du dispositif de génération de prétension (43) et du dispositif de découplage HF inductif (52) peut être réalisée à moindres coûts et peut être montée ultérieurement dans des installations existantes.
