Abstract:
One or more hybrid management modules for Photovoltaic (PV) systems are provided. These modules may be configured for peer-to-peer communication and may also be configured for cellular communication outside of the PV system. The modules may be coupled or located near individual PV modules and may be configured with or alongside PV inverters or converters. The modules may take the place of a central system manager located beyond a main service panel and may work in conjunction with a controller located beyond a main service panel.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of installing a photovoltaic system comprising:\n installing a plurality of peer-to-peer management modules on a plurality of PV modules,\n wherein each of the peer-to-peer management modules are positioned upstream of a main service panel of the photovoltaic system, \n wherein each of the peer-to-peer management modules are configured to exchange photovoltaic operational data to at least one other peer-to-peer management module, \n wherein at least one of the peer-to-peer management modules is configured to serve as a central service manager for the photovoltaic system, \n wherein at least one of the peer-to-peer management modules is configured to communicate operational data of the photovoltaic system using a cellular network and cellular network communication protocols; and \n confirming operation of one or more of the peer-to-peer management modules after installing the plurality of peer-to-peer management modules.
