Abstract
A universal power conversion system for a solar panel array includes a first solar panel generating a first power output; a second solar panel generating a second power output different from the first power output; a common DC bus in communication with the first and second solar panels; a first switching power converter between the first solar panel and the common DC bus, which receives the first power output, and outputs a third power output at a first MPP; a controller which receives, from the common DC bus, the third power output at the first MPP and the second power output in parallel with the third power output. The second power output is maintained at a second MPP to achieve an MPP-maintained fourth power output. The controller further combines the third power output with the MPP-maintained fourth power output, and produces a combined output for a destination sink.
