    摘要: A photovoltaic module includes a solar cell module including multiple solar cells, and first and second conductive lines connected respectively to first and second solar cells among the solar cells, and a junction box attached to the solar cell module. The junction box includes a power conversion unit including a capacitor unit located between the first and second conductive lines, a converter unit to change the level of a DC voltage at opposite ends of the capacitor unit and to output the DC voltage, and a controller to control the converter unit. When shading occurs in some of the solar cells, the power conversion unit supplies a second current, the level of which is lower than the level of a first current supplied before shading occurs, whereby the possibility of generation of a hot spot may be reduced despite the absence of bypass diodes when shading occurs.

    摘要: Discussed is a photovoltaic module including: a solar cell module including a plurality of solar cells; a converter to convert a level of first direct current (DC) power input from the solar cell module, and to output second DC power; an inverter to convert the second DC power supplied from the converter into alternating current (AC) power; and a controller to control the converter and the inverter, wherein the converter comprises: a full-bridge switching part to switch the first DC power; a transformer having an input side connected to an output terminal of the full-bridge switching part; and a half-bridge switching part connected to an output side of the transformer, wherein the controller changes a switching frequency of the full-bridge switching part and the half-bridge switching part in a first section of a waveform.
