Abstract

An example system includes an inverter and at least one combiner box. The combiner box includes a plurality of direct current-direct current (DC-DC) circuits and one controller. The controller is configured to: when an output voltage of the combiner box is greater than or equal to a first preset voltage and less than or equal to a second preset voltage, control the combiner box to output a maximum power. When the output voltage of the combiner box is greater than the second preset voltage, the controller controls an output power of the combiner box to decrease as the output voltage increases. The second preset voltage is greater than the first preset voltage, and the maximum power is a sum of maximum powers of all photovoltaic strings connected to the combiner box.
