Resumen

We present a novel approach to physically integrate a PV module, dc/dc converter, dc/ac microinverter and a battery pack. The main advantages and challenges to realize this integration are presented. Since the thermal management is one main challenge to tackle, a 1D thermal model is developed, and the respective simulation results are obtained.
