Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 7, wherein the measurement conditioning circuit includes a voltage measurement conditioning circuit and an analog-to-digital converter circuit, the method further comprising:
receiving the sensed voltage signal at a voltage sense terminal of the voltage measurement conditioning circuit from the string of PV sub-modules;
receiving the voltage reference signal at a voltage reference terminal of the voltage measurement conditioning circuit from the string of PV sub-modules;
generating an analog voltage signal at an analog voltage output of the voltage measurement conditioning circuit based on the sensed voltage signal at the voltage sense terminal in reference to the voltage reference signal at the voltage reference terminal; and
generating digital voltage measurement data at a digital voltage measurement output of the analog-to-digital converter circuit based on the analog voltage signal at an analog voltage input.
