Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for optimizing loading of solar inverters. A system may include a first solar module group, a second solar module group, a first inverter, a second inverter, and a switching system. The switching system can be configured to connect the first and second solar module groups in (i) a first position in which the first solar module group outputs energy to the first inverter and the second solar module group outputs energy to the second inverter, and, when a combined output of the first solar module group and the second solar module group is below a threshold percentage of a maximum output of the first inverter or the second inverter, (ii) a second position in which the first solar module group and the second solar module group output energy to the first inverter.
