Abstract

A photovoltaic module performance monitoring system and associated devices, for monitoring the electrical output of individual modules in a photovoltaic array. The system includes one or more module monitors, each of which monitors electrical parameters of an associated module and transmits signals encoded with the measured data; at least one transponder that receives signals from the module monitors and communicates the data to at least one computer which receives and analyzes the data.
