Abstract

Voltage in the photovoltaic power generation system can be increased under a same power conversion condition, to reduce a current in the photovoltaic power generation system, thereby reducing energy consumption and reducing costs of the photovoltaic power generation system. The system includes: a photovoltaic array, a direct current conversion unit, a bus unit, and an inverter unit, where there are one or more photovoltaic arrays; the photovoltaic array is configured to: convert solar energy into electric energy, in other words, generate direct current power, and output a direct current voltage. The bus unit stores direct current electric energy output by the direct current conversion unit or directly stores the direct current electric energy output by the photovoltaic array, to increase a bus voltage in the first bus unit.
