Abstract:
Systems and methods for local and master management units in a photovoltaic energy system. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a computer system includes sending a first identification code from a local management unit to a master management unit. The first identification code is associated with the first local management unit, and the local management unit controls a solar module. An authentication of the first identification code is received from the master management unit. In response to receiving the authentication, active operation of the local management unit is continued (e.g., for a set time period).

Claim (Index 15):
A method to implement a communication protocol for continued operations of solar modules of a solar energy system, the method comprising:\n establishing communication connections from a master controller of a master management unit with local management units of the solar modules of the solar energy system, wherein each of the local management units is configured to control operations of a respective one of the solar modules; transmitting, from the master controller, a first code to a first local management unit of a first solar module, wherein the first local management unit is configured to:\n continue a first mode of operation of the first solar module in response to the first code, and \n stop the first mode of operation of the first solar module in response to a failure to receive the first code; and \n transmitting, from the master controller, a second code to a second local management unit of a second solar module, wherein the second local management unit is configured to:\n continue the first mode of operation of the second solar module in response to the second code, and \n stop the first mode of operation of the second solar module in response to a failure to receive the second code.
