Abstract

A modular apparatus for and method of alternating current photovoltaic power generation comprising: via a photovoltaic module (12), generating power in the form of direct current; and converting direct current to alternating current and exporting power via one or more power conversion and transfer units attached to the module, each unit comprising a unitary housing extending a length or width of the module, which housing comprises: contact means for receiving direct current from the module; one or more direct current-to-alternating current inverters (216); an alternating current bus (212); and contact means for receiving alternating current from the one or more inverters
