ENERGY TRANSFER METHOD FOR A SOLAR COLLECTOR

A method of managing the transfer of energy from a solar collector 30 to a load 28 includes switching a first switch 44 and a second switch 46 to regulate storing energy in an intermediate energy store 32 as a result of current generated by the solar collector 30. Current is allowed to flow to the l...

Summary:A method of managing the transfer of energy from a solar collector 30 to a load 28 includes switching a first switch 44 and a second switch 46 to regulate storing energy in an intermediate energy store 32 as a result of current generated by the solar collector 30. Current is allowed to flow to the load 28 as a result of the energy stored in the intermediate energy store 32. Secondary control of the second switch 46 prevents the load 28 from supplying current in a direction back towards the intermediate energy store 32 and limits the voltage drop between the intermediate energy store 32 and the load 28.
