Abstract
A system and method for DC to AC conversion in a power generating array. The system and method includes a number of inverters coupled to a group of solar panels. A group controller coordinates operation of the inverters for interleaved switching of the inverters. The group controller communicates via a local area network, a wireless network, or both, to coordinate operation with additional groups of inverters coupled in parallel with additional solar panels.
