Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to methods for connecting power devices prior to deployment in a photovoltaic installation, for cost savings and easy deployment. Some embodiments disclosed herein include manufacturing a chain of power devices already coupled by conductors, and providing a mechanical assembly for convenient storage and deployment.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of power conversion devices, each including two inputs configured to couple to one or more power generators;
- and
- a plurality of conductors connecting each, first, power conversion device to at least one, second, power conversion device, each conductor having a length based on the first power conversion device being connected to a first power generator and a second power conversion device being coupled to a second power generator;
- and
- a packaging assembly configured to store the plurality of conductors coupled to the plurality of power conversion devices prior to deploying the power conversion devices and conductors on power generators.

A method comprising:
- connecting a chain of power conversion circuits together using a plurality of conductors prior to deploying the chain of power conversion circuits in a photovoltaic installation, wherein one or more conductors is disposed between a first power conversion circuit and a second power conversion circuit, wherein a length of the one or more conductors is selected based on the first power conversion circuit being coupled to a first power generator and the second power conversion circuit being coupled to a second power generation module.
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of power devices, each comprising:
- two inputs configured to couple to a power source;
- and
- two outputs, wherein one output is coupled to a first conductor and one output is coupled to a second conductor, with at least one of the first conductor and second conductor coupled to a second power device,
- wherein a length of at least one of the first conductor and second conductor is selected based on the power device being coupled to a first power generator and the second power device being coupled to a second power generator.
