Enhanced system and method for string balancing

This invention describes a solar power system designed to manage multiple groups of solar panels, called strings. Each string has its own dedicated power converter. These converters take the power from their respective string and adjust its voltage to match a central power line, or "bus," which then receives power from all the strings working together in parallel. A smart unit monitors each string's voltage and compares it to the bus voltage to ensure efficient operation.

Why it matters: The classification highlights data transmission over the power network. Advances in Power Line Communication (PLC) chipsets and protocols since 2022 could simplify the integration and improve the reliability of the system's monitoring and control features.
