Abstract
A method for testing a photovoltaic panel connected to an electronic module. The electronic module has at least one input attached to the photovoltaic panel and at least one power output. The method of testing the photovoltaic panel begins with activating a bypass of the electronic module. The bypass is preferably activated by applying a magnetic or an electromagnetic field. The bypass provides a low impedance path between the input and output of the electronic module.
Claims5
A device for testing a photovoltaic panel system including a photovoltaic panel having an output node and an electronic module, having an input node and an output node, the device comprising:
- a first single pole double throw switch, said first single pole double throw switch including an input common node, a first output node and a second output node;
- a first single pole single throw switch including an input node and an output node;
- a second single pole double throw switch, said second single pole double throw switch including an output common node, a first input node and a second input node;
- said output node of the photovoltaic panel connected to said input common node of said first single pole double throw switch;
- said first output node of said first single pole double throw switch connected to said input node of the electronic module;
- said second output node of said first single pole double throw switch connected to said input node of said first single pole single throw switch;
- said output node of said first single pole single throw switch connected to said first input node of said second single pole double throw switch;
- and
- said output node of said electronic module connected to said second input node of said second single pole double throw switch.
