    Abstract: An energy combiner apparatus is used to convert output of a power supply, and has three output terminals, so that output ports are increased. In the three output terminals of the energy combiner apparatus, a voltage of 1500 V is output between a first output terminal and a second output terminal, a voltage of 1500 V is also output between the second output terminal and a third output terminal, and a total of 3 kV is output. Therefore, an overall output voltage is increased in a case of equal output power. Because the overall output voltage is increased, a current transmitted on a cable may be reduced. Therefore, a thinner cable may be used, so that costs of the cable are reduced. In addition, four cables conventionally required for connecting to the output terminals of the energy combiner apparatus are reduced to three, so that quantity and costs are reduced.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic string location update method and apparatus includes: obtaining, based on a physical map, a physical location of a first photovoltaic string corresponding to a first logical location in the physical map, the physical map indicating a correspondence between a logical location of a photovoltaic string and a physical location of the photovoltaic string, and the photovoltaic string includes the first photovoltaic string; and when the physical location of the first photovoltaic string in the physical map is different from a first actual physical location of the first photovoltaic string, updating the physical location of the photovoltaic string in the physical map to the first actual physical location, to obtain an updated physical map. The first actual physical location of the photovoltaic string is inconsistent with the physical location in the physical map, to prepare for subsequent operation and maintenance accurately performed on the photovoltaic string.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic system includes the photovoltaic module, an electric energy conversion apparatus, an inverter, and a computing device. The computing device determines whether output power of the photovoltaic module meets a first preset condition, where the first preset condition is that the output power is greater than or equal to a first preset output power; when the first preset condition is met, the computing device determines to set the photovoltaic module to a default configuration direction, where the default configuration direction is a photovoltaic module orientation in which sunlight is irradiated onto the photovoltaic module with a minimum incident angle; and when the first preset condition is not met, the computing device determines to set the photovoltaic module to a target orientation, where the target orientation is different from the default configuration direction.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic system, an optimizer, a controller, a computer program product, a computer-readable storage medium, a chip, and a method for adjusting a working state of an optimizer are provided. The photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic panel and an optimizer. The optimizer includes a controller, a first output port, and a second output port. The controller is configured to detect an electrical signal parameter between the first output port and the second output port. The controller is configured to adjust a working state of the optimizer from a no-output state or a limited-output state to an unlimited-output state when the electrical signal parameter changes. In the photovoltaic system, the working state can be adjusted without using an unlocking apparatus, so that an implementation is simple, and costs are reduced.
