US 2020/0091725 A1 · MICRO INVERTER AND CONTROLLER

Abstract

The present device is a self-contained, all-in-one MPPT controller and micro-inverter that can be connected directly to the load (that can be on or off grid) using a standard power socket feeding energy to the grid generated by different kind of sources, including wind turbines and solar panels, and that also controls a storage device to be used to reduce peak consumptions or as a back up solution. The device harvests information form different sensors, devices and sources to gather weather, energy and usage behaviors data. The device uses blockchain technology to track the information and provide accountability in the interchange of energy between devices. The all in one system also can be connected to a server to analyze the information through different types of algorithms, to be used to improve energy efficiency, allow energy management, and forecast weather conditions.
