INTEGRATED TRACKER CONTROLLER

摘要

A photovoltaic (PV) system is disclosed. The PV system can include a first and a second tracker that includes a first and a second plurality of PV collection devices. The PV system can include a first motor configured to adjust an angle of the first tracker. The PV system can include an inverter coupled to an output of the first plurality of PV collection devices. The inverter can include a first local controller comprising control circuitry configured to control the first motor. In an example, the inverter can be a string inverter. In one example, the inverter can a block inverter coupled to an output of the first and second plurality of PV collection devices. The PV system can also include a power collection unit, where the power collection unit can be coupled to the first plurality of PV collection devices and include the first local controller. The PV system can also include a central controller configured to provide a first indication to the first local controller, where the first indication is usable by the control circuitry of the first local controller to control the first motor.
