Integrated solar tracker controller and dc/dc converter

A system for solar tracking and DC/DC conversion, comprising:

• a housing including a plurality of heat sink fins on exterior surfaces;
• a DC power supply disposed within the housing, the DC power supply having circuitry configured to receive DC power from one or more solar panels and to supply DC power to components within the housing;
• a self-powered controller disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the DC power supply, the self-powered controller powered by the one or more solar panels via the DC power supply and configured to output control signals to one or more motors to orient the one or more solar panels;
• a plurality of configurable power blocks disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the DC power supply, each configurable power block selectively operable as a DC/DC converter to perform maximum power point tracking on one or more solar panels and as a DC/AC converter;
• and
• a battery module detachably couplable to the housing by a blind-mate connector and electrically connected to the DC power supply to provide backup power to the components within the housing.
