Abstract
The system provides for one or more photovoltaic panels () or other energy sources, connected to a series of inverters () in parallel, the outputs of which are connected to a load (Z) and/or to an electricity distribution grid (). One of the inverters operates as master unit and generates a power control signal in order to track the maximum power point that can be obtained from the panels (). The other inverters operate as slave units. The control is performed so that all the inverters absorb a variable quantity of power according to the fluctuations in the power available at the output of the photovoltaic panels () or other source subject to fluctuations.
