Abstract:
An arc detection and intervention system for a solar energy system. One or more arc detectors are strategically located among strings of solar panels. In conjunction with local management units (LMUs), arcs can be isolated and affected panels disconnected from the solar energy system.

Claim (Index 19):
An arc locating apparatus, comprising:\n a computing apparatus in communication with controllers in a plurality of devices and in communication with an arc detector in a photovoltaic system having a plurality of photovoltaic panels controlled by the plurality of the devices, wherein each respective device in the plurality of the devices has:\n a switch to control output of electricity generated by a respective photovoltaic panel to which the respective device is locally coupled, and \n a controller to transmit and receive information; and \n wherein in response to the arc detector detecting presence of an arc in the photovoltaic system, the computing apparatus communicates with the controllers to change operations of the photovoltaic panels and identifies a location of the arc within the photovoltaic system based on responses of the arc detector as results of changes in the operations of the photovoltaic panels.
