    Abstract: This application provides a charging module and a charging system. The charging system includes a charging module. The charging module includes a direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) charging component, a functional interface, an inverter, and a control and guide component. The functional interface includes a photovoltaic interface. The DC/DC charging component is configured to receive a first power exported by a photovoltaic module to charge an electric vehicle (EV). In this way, after receiving, through the photovoltaic interface, electrical energy converted from solar energy, the charging module does not need to cooperate with an on-board charger (OBC), but uses the DC/DC charging component to charge the EV with a direct current. The charging module provided in this application is not limited by a charging power of the OBC when charging the EV, thereby increasing an actual power for charging the EV and a charging speed.

    Abstract: An inverter in a power generation system converts a direct current that is input from a direct-current-side device into an alternating current for power supply. The inverter includes a control apparatus and a communications apparatus. The control apparatus controls the inverter to convert the direct current that is input from the direct-current-side device into an alternating current for power supply. The communications apparatus is coupled to the control apparatus, and sends a networking information request signal used to request networking information to the direct-current-side device in the power generation system through a direct-current power line, where a frequency of the networking information request signal is within a first frequency band. The communications apparatus also receives the networking information from the direct-current-side device; and sends a control signal to the direct-current-side device, where a frequency of the control signal is within a second frequency band.

    Abstract: A linkage protection system includes an inverter, an anti-potential-induced degradation (PID) apparatus, and an insulation-monitoring apparatus. The anti-PID apparatus is configured to inject a voltage into an input end or an output end of the inverter, to increase or decrease a voltage-to-earth of a photovoltaic system. The insulation-monitoring apparatus is configured to inject an insulation-monitoring voltage into a direct current (DC) side or an alternating current (AC) side of the inverter. The anti-PID apparatus and the insulation-monitoring apparatus directly or indirectly communicate with each other, to learn of information about whether a peer apparatus is operating, and perform linkage control. The anti-PID apparatus and the insulation-monitoring apparatus operate in different time periods.

    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.

    Abstract: A power supply system includes at least one group of power supply modules. The power supply module includes a first string, a first residual current detection circuit, an inverter circuit, and a first controller. The first residual current detection circuit is connected between the first string and an input end of the inverter circuit, and an output end of the inverter circuit is connected to an alternating current power grid. When a first residual current value detected by the first residual current detection circuit is greater than a first preset residual current threshold, the first controller controls the first string to be disconnected from the inverter circuit, or controls the inverter circuit to be disconnected from the alternating current power grid.
