<p>A photovoltaic module including a photovoltaic panel (101) and an electrical circuit (103) connected thereto. The photovoltaic panel (101) includes multiple bus bars (a, b, c) connected to an input of the electrical circuit (103). The electrical circuit (103) includes at least one input bypass circuit (121)connected across the bus bars (a, b, c) at the input of the electrical circuit (103). Circuitry includes a switch (SW1) connected between the input and the output of the electrical circuit (103). The circuitry functions to disconnect the photovoltaic panel (101) from the output of the electrical circuit (103). An output bypass circuit (121) is connected to the output of the electrical circuit (103). The output of the electrical circuit (103) is connectible to a second like electrical circuit of a second like photovoltaic module. The output bypass circuit (121) is an active bypass circuit which draws power from the output of the electrical circuit.</p> |
