Patent number: 12149086Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for configuring or commissioning a solar power system includes receiving, at a controller, hardware identifiers of a plurality of power electronics modules to be configured. Each of the plurality of power electronics modules of at least a portion of the plurality of power electronics modules is associated with a corresponding photovoltaic panel. A hub is configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of power electronics modules. The controller is physically connected to the hub and communicates with the hub via wiring that also carries power from photovoltaic panels to an inverter. The process includes configuring, by the controller, the plurality of power electronics modules using the received hardware identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Lunar Energy, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Breuning Evans, Sebastian Wolf, Mark Holveck, Hai-Yue Han, Craig Patrick Timms, Paul Chapman, Christopher Wright, Ryan Pflaum, Manuel Alejandro Valenzuela Acosta, César Pecharromán Arribas, James Alexander Stewart Carragher, Jesús Prieto Colomina
