Micro-inverter
DRIVE
June 20, 2012
The micro-inverter (100) has a first decoupling unit (104) connected in parallel to output terminals (102, 103) of a solar panel (101). Two units of four control units (105, 106, 107, 108) are galvanically isolated from each other. Each control unit is connected in parallel to a second decoupling unit (109) i.e. capacitor, by its output. Output of the second decoupling unit is coupled to a filter (110) for enabling output voltage of the panel to be adjusted to standards of a low-voltage electrical network (112). A microcontroller (111) controls the control units via pulse-width modulation.
