PHOTOVOLTAIC EQUIPMENT, AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICAL POWER AT A PREDETERMINED VALUE REGARDLESS OF BEING SUBJECTED TO POWER LOSSES

摘要

The invention relates to photovoltaic equipment, including: photovoltaic cells (3) or groups (2) of photovoltaic cells, configured so as to generate a DC electrical current and/or voltage when said cells or cell groups are subjected to incident solar radiation; and a general generator (4), or an individual generator (4') for each photovoltaic cell (3) or each photovoltaic cell group (2), said generator comprising an internal impedance and generating a DC or AC electrical current and/or voltage from the DC electrical current and/or voltage generated by the photovoltaic cells (3) or photovoltaic cell groups (2). Said equipment is characterized in that each photovoltaic cell (3) or photovoltaic cell group (2) is configured so as to generate electrical power that is greater than a predetermined value, and in that it further includes, for the general generator (4) or each individual generator (4'): a means (6) for measuring the electrical power generated by the general generator (4) or the individual generator (4'); and an adjustment means (7) for adjusting the internal impedance of the general generator (4) or of the individual generator (4') when the photovoltaic cell or the photovoltaic cell group is subjected to losses, so as to compensate for said losses until the electrical power generated by said general generator or said individual generator is equal to the predetermined value.
