1. A solar panel array system comprisingone or more groups of solar panels, the panels within each group being connected in parallel with each other;

  • anda split power inverter comprising;

    a first stage comprising one or more DC-to-DC power converters;

    each power converter having a first input port and a first output port, and each of the solar panels within a corresponding group of solar panels being connected in parallel to the first input port; and

    a second stage comprising a DC-to-AC inverter having a second input port and a second output port, the first outputs of each DC-to-DC converter of the first stage being connected in parallel to the second input port of the DC-to-AC inverter of the second stage;

    wherein when each DC-to-DC power converter is positioned in close proximity to the corresponding group of solar panels and when the second stage is positioned remotely from the corresponding group of solar panels, the second output port provides power originating from the solar panel array to an AC power line.
