Switched capacitor multilevel output DC-DC converters are evaluated as panel integrated modules in a solar maximum power point tracking system. The recommended system includes a central input current-controlled ripple port inverter. Potential benefits include per panel MPPT without inter-panel communication, electrolytic capacitors or per panel magnetics. Statistical methods are used to predict average tracking and conversion efficiencies. A particular implementation of the switched capacitor module is studied - the Marx converter. Average total efficiencies (tracking × conversion) greater than 93% are predicted for a simulated 510 W, 3 panel, DC-DC system.
