A matrix connection device disposed between n unidirectional energy sources (PV1, PV2, PVn) and n power converters (C1, C2, Cn) for the purpose of powering a common load (10), said device comprising:

    n matrix switch units (I1, I2 to In), each of which comprises n link switches (Ki1, Ki2 to Kin) having their outlets connected together and having their n inlets connected to the n outlets of said photovoltaic panels and/or wind turbines;at least one additional switch unit (In+1) comprising n switches (Kn+11, Kn+12 to Kn+1n) having their outlets connected together and their n inlets connected to respective ones of the n outlets of the unidirectional energy sources; anda monitoring and control circuit (14) for starting up or not starting up said power converters as a function of the power available at each of said unidirectional energy sources, and then for keeping them switched on or for deactivating them as a function of the power consumed by each of them.
