Abstract

See full text

A method and system for monitoring a photovoltaic module. The method includes initiating a monitoring process for a photovoltaic module at a predetermined time. The photovoltaic module is connected to at least another module in a photovoltaic string as a part of a photovoltaic array. Additionally, the method includes measuring one or more parameters of the photovoltaic module by a monitoring circuit. The one or more parameters include a module current flowing through the photovoltaic module, a module voltage across the photovoltaic module, and a module temperature of the photovoltaic module. Also, the method includes collecting one or more measurement results of the one or more parameters, transmitting the one or more collected results using one or more radio-frequency signals, and processing information associated with the one or more transmitted results.
