Abstract
A device for managing photovoltaic modules according to one aspect includes: a communication unit for receiving a power line communication signal from at least one photovoltaic module array or transmitting the power line communication signal to the at least one photovoltaic module array; and a bypass unit forming a first communication path connecting the communication unit to the at least one photovoltaic module array, wherein the first communication path operates as an alternative path for a second communication path connecting the communication unit to the inverter.
Claims16
A device for managing a photovoltaic module, the device comprising:
- a communication unit for receiving a power line communication signal from at least one photovoltaic module array or transmitting a power line communication signal to the at least one photovoltaic module array;
- and
- a bypass unit forming a first communication path connecting the communication unit to the at least one photovoltaic module array, wherein the first communication path operates as
- an alternative path for a second communication path connecting the communication unit to an inverter.
A device for managing a photovoltaic module comprising:
- a communication unit for receiving a power line communication signal from at least one photovoltaic module array or transmitting a power line communication signal to the at least one photovoltaic module array;
- at least one first input/output port including a first positive electrode port connected to the at least one photovoltaic module array and the communication unit, and a first negative electrode port connected to the at least one photovoltaic module array and an inverter;
- at least one second input/output port including a second positive electrode port connected to the communication unit and the inverter, and a second negative electrode port connected to the inverter and the first negative electrode port;
- and
- at least one bypass unit forming the first communication path connecting the communication unit and the first negative electrode port,
- wherein the first communication path operates as
- an alternative path for a second communication path connecting the communication unit to the second positive electrode port.
