System And Method For Increasing Voltage In A Photovoltaic Inverter

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the DC voltage provided to a PV inverter (12) is disclosed. A PV system includes a pair of PV array group (14 16) configured to generate a direct current (DC) output from received solar irradiation and a DC to AC power inverter (12) electrically coupled to the pair of PV array groups (14 16) to receive the DC output therefrom and invert the DC output to an AC output. The PV system also includes a switching clement (28) positioned between the pair of PV array groups (14 16) and the DC to AC power inverter (12) with the switching element (28) being configured to selectively connect the pair of PV array groups (14 16) to the DC to AC power inverter (12) in one of a series arrangement and a parallel arrangement so as to control a level of DC voltage received by the DC to AC power inverter (12) from the pair of PV array groups (14 16).
