Installation Test Circuit For PV System With Rapid Shutdown

Abstract

An installation test circuit for a photovoltaic (PV) system with rapid shutdown includes a voltage generator, which is coupled to a solar panel in the PV system, and generates a first output voltage and a second output voltage according to a first control signal, a second control signal and a voltage source outputted by the solar panel. A voltage difference between the first output voltage and the second output voltage is less than or equal to the voltage source. The first control signal and the second control signal control the voltage generator to determine the first output voltage and the second output voltage. A test output voltage can be generated for solar panel using a minimum number of circuit components, ranging from 0.6V to 1V. This makes it easier to determine the correct installation of the photovoltaic system by measuring a lower output voltage compared to existing technologies.
