Abstract
A solar power system including a first solar module group comprising one or more first solar modules; a second solar module group comprising one or more second solar modules; a first inverter coupled with the first solar module group and the second solar module group; a second inverter coupled with the first solar module group and the second solar module group; and a controller comprising a processor coupled with memory. The processor (i) operates the first inverter and the second inverter in a first control position in which the first inverter draws energy from the first solar module group and the second inverter draws energy from the second solar module, 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) operates the first inverter and the second inverter in a second control position in which the first inverter draws energy from the first solar module group and the second module group.
