Abstract
A solar farm and method of operating same. The solar farm has a first and second inverters with a first and second DC power input, respectively, and also has a first group of solar panels and a second group of solar panels. A first switch selectably alternately connects the first group of solar panels to one of either DC power inputs. An inverter current monitor monitors electrical current flowing into or out of the first inverter. A controller determines that the first inverter is operating as a clipping inverter based on a current measurement by the inverter current monitor while the first switch is connecting the first group of solar panels to the first DC power input. The controller also switches, when it is determined that the first inverter is operating as a clipping inverter, the first switch to connect the first group of solar panels to the second DC power input.
