Title:
RECONFIGURABLE PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017098529
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photovoltaic module including non-reconfigurable interconnects to form cell strings and reconfigurable interconnects.SOLUTION: Each of a plurality of cell strings comprises at least four cells 2 connected in series, the first cell (in) and the last cell (out) being provided on the same edge of a grid. Reconfigurable interconnects 6 are adapted for interconnecting the cell strings to be electrically connected in series and for establishing a parallel circuit of at least two adjacent cell strings. The reconfigurable interconnects 6 receive a control signal from a controller for forming parallel-serial and/or hybrid connections of the cell strings to cluster cell strings matching under nonuniform irradiation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
