Page 14: Product Overview
PV module, which is known as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The A1-Micro 1 in 1 is integrated with MPPT, which means that even though a PV module runs abnormally or is shaded, other modules won't be affected and can operate the unshaded string at maximum efficiency point. - Page 15 Product Overview PV module A PV Module is an assembly of photovoltaic cells, also known as solar cells. To achieve a required voltage and current, a group of PV modules are wired into strings which are called PV arrays. A PV module is the essential component of any PV system that converts sunlight directly into direct current electricity.
