1. An apparatus for balancing power output comprising:

  • an array of balancers coupled with a cluster of power-generating elements that are coupled in series via a conductor through which a common current flows, the array of balancers having an output coupled in parallel,wherein the array of balancers is configured to;

    unidirectionally draw current from the power generating elements;

    unidirectionally supply current to the power-generating elements; and

    bidirectionally pass current through shunt paths,wherein each power-generating element in the cluster of power generating elements operates independently at a maximum power to supply a total current different from the common current.
