H02M 007/515 Conversion of ac power input into dc power output

H01L 031/042 Semiconductor devices sensitive to infra-red radiation, light, electromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelength, or corpuscular radiation and specially adapted either for the conversion of the energy of such radiation into electrical energy or for the control of electrical energy by such radiation - including a panel or array of photoelectric cells, e.g. solar cells

G05F 001/67 Automatic systems in which deviations of an electric quantity from one or more predetermined values are detected at the output of the system and fed back to a device within the system to restore the detected quantity to its predetermined value or values, i.e. retroactive systems

H02M 007/21 Conversion of ac power input into dc power output - using devices of a triode or transistor type requiring continuous application of a control signal

H02J 003/38 Circuit arrangements for ac mains or ac distribution networks - Arrangements for parallelly feeding a single network by two or more generators, converters, or transformers

H02J 007/35 Circuit arrangements for charging or depolarising batteries or for supplying loads from batteries - with light sensitive cells
