BYPASS AND PROTECTION CIRCUIT FOR A SOLAR MODULE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SOLAR MODULE

摘要

A bypass and protection circuit for a solar module includes an input for connecting the solar module, an output, a bypass element connected in parallel to the output, and a separating element connected between the input and the output and configured to control the connection between the input and the output. The separating element is configured to control a connection between the input and the output in dependence on whether the solar module associated with the circuit is completely or partially shaded, or whether the solar module associated with the circuit is to be switched on or off.
