    Abstract: A multi-level boost apparatus. Voltage allocation among N first switches is achieved by arranging the N voltage dividing modules. It is prevented that the second one to the N-th one of the first switches break down and fail due to overvoltage. By arranging an (i−1)-th clamp branch at a common node between an (i−1)-th second switch and an i-th second switch, a voltage bore by the i-th second switch is clamped at a difference between a voltage across the fourth branch (namely, an output voltage of the multi-level boost apparatus) and a voltage across the corresponding clamp branch. The risk is avoided that a second one to the N-th one of the second switches break down due to overvoltage at an instant of being powered, in a case that the input voltage is low.

    Abstract: A multi-level boost apparatus. Voltage allocation among N first switches is achieved by connecting N voltage dividing modules, sequentially connected in series, in parallel with the N first voltage switches, respectively. Thereby, a voltage across each of the N first switches is within a safety range. Even if an input voltage is high and a voltage across a flying capacitor is zero at an instant of being powered, it is prevented that a second one to an N-th one of the N first switches break down due to overvoltage.

    Abstract: A control apparatus and a combiner box are provided. In a case that component maintenance needs to be performed, an optimizer connected to the combiner box is controlled to operate in a safe mode, and a switch-off signal is outputted to disconnect the combiner box from an inverter if an output current of the combiner box is smaller than a threshold. In a case that the maintenance is completed, the optimizer connected to the combiner box is controlled to operate in a maximum power point tracking mode, and the combiner box is connected to the inverter if an input voltage of the combiner box is greater than an output voltage of the combiner box, that is, if an output voltage of a corresponding string increases gradually to a value exceeding a direct current bus voltage.
