Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1, An integral capacitor module applied to a photovoltaic inverter of the present utility model includes a substrate and a capacitor module composed of a plurality of aluminum electrolytic capacitors 2. The plurality of aluminum electrolytic capacitors 1 are evenly distributed on the substrate 2, and the adjacent aluminum electrolytic capacitors are arranged closely and continuously, with a reasonable layout to achieve a compact connection.

[0023] Figure 2 As shown, the capacitor module includes capacitor C1, capacitor C2, capacitor C7, capacitor C8, capacitor C14, capacitor C15, capacitor C16, capacitor C18, resistor R1 and resistor R2. Resistor R1 and resistor R2 are connected to form a resistor group. Capacitor C1 and capacitor C14 are connected to form a first capacitor group. Capacitor C2 and capacitor C15 are connected to form a second capacitor group. Capacitor C7 and capacitor C16 are connected to form a third capacitor group.
