PHOTOVOLTAIC STRING COMBINER WITH MODULAR PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/127154

A8

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for managing a photovoltaic arrangement. A photovoltaic string combiner may be configured to combine a set of photovoltaic strings of the photovoltaic arrangement. The photovoltaic string combiner comprises a modular platform architecture configured to host one or monitoring modules in a plug and play manner based upon a drop in topology where a user may easily install or remove monitoring modules from the modular platform architecture. A monitoring module may automatically self-detect, such as during boot up, positional data (e.g., an indication that the monitoring module is to monitor a first set of 8 photovoltaic strings) and/or configuration data (e.g., calibration data, a grounded configuration, a floating configuration, etc.). The monitoring modules may provide positional data, configuration data, and/or measurement data (e.g., a current measurement from a photovoltaic string) to a main controller module that manages the photovoltaic arrangement.
