Abstract
Methods and apparatus may provide for the adaptive operation of a solar power system (). Solar energy sources () and photovoltaic DC-DC power converters () may be interconnected in serial, parallel, or combined arrangements. DC photovoltaic power conversion may be accomplished utilizing dynamically adjustable voltage output limits () of photovoltaic DC-DC power converters (). A photovoltaic DC-DC power converter () may include at least one external state data interface () receptive to at least one external state parameter of a solar power system (). A dynamically adjustable voltage output limit control () may be used to relationally set a dynamically adjustable voltage output limit () of a photovoltaic DC-DC power converter (). Dynamically adjusting voltage output limits () may be done in relation to external state parameter information to achieve desired system results.
