Abstract
Method for optimizing a maximum power point of a solar cell stack having modules, each including an MLSD unit, and an inverter. The MLSD unit shuts down the module when module voltage falls below a first voltage threshold, and switches it on, when a predefined second voltage threshold is exceeded. For optimal performance, the solar cell stack carries out: Defining, changing an electrical control parameter to a first wait value so that the second voltage threshold is exceeded exceeded; maintaining first wait value for a first time period so the modules are switched on by the MLSD units; changing electrical control parameter to a threshold value in a variation range and determining current-voltage curves for the modules in variation range; determining maximum stack power from current-voltage curves of the modules in the variation range; and predefining the determined maximum stack power as the maximum performance point.
