Abstract

A photovoltaic power generation system is discussed. The photovoltaic power generation system includes a solar cell module including a plurality of solar cell groups divided into groupings of the plurality of solar cell groups, each of the plurality of solar cell groups including at least one of one solar cell row which a plurality of solar cells are electrically connected, and a plurality of signal control units connected to the plurality of solar cell groups, respectively, wherein the each of the plurality of signal control units track a maximum power based on the current and the voltage output from each of the plurality of solar cell groups and outputs the maximum power.

Claims (9)

1. A solar cell module comprising:

a plurality of solar cell groups divided into groupings of the plurality of solar cell groups, each of the plurality of solar cell groups including at least one of one solar cell row which a plurality of solar cells are electrically connected;

a plurality of signal control units connected to the plurality of solar cell groups, respectively; each of the plurality of signal control units tracking a maximum power based on a current and a voltage output from the each of the plurality of solar cell groups and outputting the maximum power;

a plurality of sensing units connected between the each of the plurality of solar cell groups and the each of the plurality of signal control units, sensing currents output from the plurality of solar cell groups, and outputting the sensed currents to the plurality of signal control units; and

a plurality of amplification units connected between the each of the plurality of solar cell groups and the each of the plurality of signal control units;

wherein the each of the plurality of signal control units compares an amount of current sensed by the each of the plurality of sensing units with a setting value, and applies a control signal to a corresponding amplification unit of the plurality of amplification units, when the amount of current is less than the setting value, the corresponding amplification unit corresponding to a sensing unit which outputs the amount of current less than the setting value, and

the corresponding amplification unit amplifies a current input thereto and outputs the amplified current to an output terminal of a signal control unit of the plurality of signal control units.

2. The solar cell module of claim 1 , further comprising a final power output unit to be connected to the plurality of signal control units,

wherein the final power output unit selects the largest power among maximum powers respectively applied to the plurality of signal control units.
