Publication number: 20250221084Abstract: Solar panels may have manufacturing defects that warrant a recall by solar panel manufacturers. Given the large quantity of solar panels in a solar farm, it is challenging to identify and track those panels affected by the recall. The present invention describes system and method embodiments for solar panel tracking for the convenience of solar panel service or replacement. Panel identifiers of solar panels in a solar table installed on an installation site of a solar farm are scanned such that the panel identifiers of the solar panels may be associated with the geographical information at the installation site. A geographical database for solar panels may be created and updated, with each panel having an entry of panel information and geographical information. When a recall is issued, involved solar panels in the solar farm may be quickly and accurately identified using the geographical database.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2023Publication date: July 3, 2025Applicant: Terabase Energy, Inc.Inventors: Allan Daly, Peter Long Martin, Javid Morteza Alasti, Soren Jensen

Publication number: 20250196977Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for video based sensor fusion with respect to mobile structures. A mobile structure may include at least one imaging module and multiple navigational sensors and/or receive navigational data from various sources. A navigational database may be generated that includes data from the imaging module, navigational sensors, and/or other sources. Aspects of the navigational database may then be used to generate an integrated model, forecast weather conditions, warn of dangers, identify hard to spot items, and generally aid in the navigation of the mobile structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2025Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventors: Mark Johnson, Richard Jales, Gordon Pope, Christopher Daniel Gatland, Paul Stokes, Aaron Ridout, Chris Jones, Jay E. Robinson, Neil R. Owens, Peter Long
