Abstract: A distributed power system wherein a plurality of power converters are connected in parallel and share the power conversion load according to a prescribed function, but each power converter autonomously determines its share of power conversion. Each power converter operates according to its own power conversion formula/function, such that overall the parallel-connected converters share the power conversion load in a predetermined manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an array solar power generation device, comprising a plurality of solar panels, a frame unit, a support unit and at least one reflecting device. A first light-receiving face and a second light-receiving face, which can receive light to generate power, are arranged at opposite positions on each of the solar panels; the frame unit is configured to connect the plurality of solar panels, and to enable the plurality of solar panels to be vertically and continuously arranged so as to form a continuous solar power generation module, enable a plurality of continuous solar power generation modules to be arranged in parallel so as to form an array solar power generation device, and enable adjacent continuous solar power generation modules to have a light transmission interval therebetween; the support unit is arranged below the frame unit; and the reflecting device is arranged below the light transmission interval of the adjacent continuous solar power generation modules and can reflect light rays to the first light-receiving face and the second light-receiving face of the continuous solar power generation module. Thus, the present invention is easy to mount, and has a high power generation efficiency and good applicability.

Abstract: Solar panels and solar platforms having three-dimensional solar harvesting surfaces are disclosed. The solar panels and solar platforms may take a volumetric approach in harvesting solar energy by having the active sides of the solar surfaces protruding upwards rather than being merely planar like a conventional solar panel. The three-dimensional design of such active sides may help in capturing scattered photons reflected by adjacent solar surfaces and also align in optimum orientations relative to the sun.
