Abstract

The system converts the power generated by a solar photovoltaic, (PV), module and efficiently transfers that power to desired loads and/or storage devices. By working directly with an individual PV module, or small group of PV modules, it can operate the module's current and voltage at the ideal operating point for maximum power output. The output of multiple interface modules can then be strung together in a series fashion therefore creating an efficient method of power transfer. Output current of each module is controlled by the interface controller. All modules will output varying voltages to facilitate the maximum transfer of power from the PV module to the desired loads.
