Patent attributes
An electrical power system includes a photovoltaic panel, configured to generate electrical power from a solar source. An output source is electrically coupled to the photovoltaic panel with a first maximum power point tracking charge controller. An inverter is electrically coupled to the photovoltaic panel with a second maximum power point tracking charge controller. A bi-directional buck/boost converter is electrically coupled to the first maximum power point charge controller and the second maximum power point charge controller and programmed with instructions to determine a photovoltaic panel current coming in from the photovoltaic panel. Then, direct an output source current to the output source. After that, direct a inverter current to the inverter.
