Abstract:
A system for providing power from solar cells where each cell or cell array is allowed to produce its maximum available power and converted by its own DC/DC converter. In one form the system includes: one or more solar generators, each of which has at least one solar cell; a maximum power tracker operatively associated with each solar generator, where the maximum power tracker includes a buck type DC/DC converter without an output inductor, and the maximum power trackers of the solar generators are operatively connected in series with each other; and an inductor operatively connected to the series connected maximum power trackers.
