Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are disclosed for removing charge buildup/leakage from solar modules. A discharge controller may be coupled between a solar module and a string bus of a solar array. The discharge controller may be configured to disconnect the solar module from the string bus, and to connect a grounded frame to solar cells of the solar module. Since the grounded frame of the solar module may be grounded, connecting the grounded frame and the solar cells allows charge buildup/leakage to discharge into ground.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A solar generation unit, comprising: a solar module having a frame pole for connecting to ground, a positive pole, a negative pole, and solar cells disposed within the frame and connected between the positive pole and the negative pole; and a discharge controller coupled with the solar module, the discharge controller having a positive output terminal, a negative output terminal, and at least one switch having a first state and a second state…
