Abstract
An apparatus is provided for producing a compensated voltage output comprising at least one photovoltaic module biasing means connected in series with the at least one photovoltaic module. The biasing means is operable to generate a controllable bias voltage for modulating an output voltage of the at least one photovoltaic module to produce the compensated voltage output.
