Solar system for generating electric power

A solar power generation system for providing operating power for a desired application, the desired application having a predetermined operating power level requirement and predetermined operating voltage level requirement, the system comprising one or more solar-array modules, wherein each of said one or more solar-array modules includes:

• a. a multiplicity of solar cells,
• wherein a preconfigured number of said solar cells are electrically connected in series to form a serial unit, and wherein a preconfigured number of said serial units are electrically connected in series to form a string of serial-units, said string of serial-units is facilitated to produce a first output voltage level;
• wherein a preconfigured number of said strings of serial-units are electrically connected in parallel to form an array of said solar cells, said array of said solar cells is facilitated to produce a first output power level;
• wherein in each of said strings of serial-units, at least one serial-unit is also electrically connected in parallel to its neighboring serial-units, to form a crisscross matrix array of serial units;
• and
• wherein said crisscross matrix array of serial units allows currents to bypass malfunctioning serial units;
• and
• b. a DC to DC power converter electrically connected to said crisscross matrix array of serial units, said power converter configured to boost said first output voltage level to a second output voltage level higher than said first output voltage level,
• wherein said power converter comprises a plurality of transistors for alternately connecting the opposite sides in a primary of a transformer to a DC source, and wherein said converter is configured such that the operational duty cycle of said transistors is constant and a dead time between the switching time On to Off or Off to On of said transistors is less than 8% of the On or Off time periods;
• wherein said power converter includes a plus conductive pad and a minus conductive pad, and wherein at least one of said strings of serial units is individually wired to said plus conductive pad and said minus conductive pad.
