Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus configured to supply electrical power to a transport refrigeration unit, the apparatus comprising a power converter and a photovoltaic system including a photovoltaic cell. The power converter includes a rectifier, an inverter and a DC bus internal to the power converter. The DC bus is electrically connected to an output of the rectifier and an input of the inverter, an input of the rectifier is electrically couplable to a power source external to the apparatus at a connection port, and an output of the inverter is electrically couplable to the transport refrigeration unit.

Abstract: A method for notifying and mitigating a suboptimal event occurring in a transport climate control system that provides climate control to a climate controlled space of a transport unit is provided. The method includes monitoring an amount of power available for powering the transport climate control system, monitoring a power demand from the transport climate control system, and accessing operational data of the transport climate control system and the transport unit. The method also includes a controller determining whether a suboptimal event is detected based on one or more of the monitored amount of power available, the monitored power demand and the accessed operational data. Also, the method includes the controller generating a notification when a suboptimal event is detected, and the controller instructing the generated notification to be displayed on a display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing energy consumption feedback for powering a transport climate control system using external data. This can include determining whether an energy level of an energy storage source is greater than an expected energy consumption of a transport climate control system during a route, based on route parameters and route conditions. The route conditions may be obtained from a source such as a remote server, and include data such as weather data, traffic data, or the like. The systems and methods may further compare current energy levels to an updated predictions of energy consumption during transit to determine if the energy level is sufficient to complete the route and alert the user when the energy level is insufficient to complete the route.
