    Abstract: Systems and/or methods for mapping power device in a string of serially connected power devices are disclosed herein. A power source may apply a source voltage to a first end of the string. A power system controller coupled to the two ends of the string may send a first signal to the power devices in the string. The power devices in the string, responsive to receiving the first signal, may measure electrical characteristics of the power devices, where the measured electrical characteristics may indicate the parasitic leakage of the power devices. The power devices may send second signals to the power system controller to report the measured electrical characteristics. The power system controller may determine the mapping of the power devices in the string based on the second signals.

    Abstract: A method for arc detection in a system including a photovoltaic panel and a load connectible to the photovoltaic panel with a DC power line. The method measures power delivered to the load thereby producing a first measurement result of the power delivered to the load. Power produced by the photovoltaic panel is also measured, thereby producing a second measurement result of power produced by the photovoltaic panel. The first measurement result is compared with the second measurement result thereby producing a differential power measurement result. Upon the differential power measurement result being more than a threshold value, an alarm condition may also be set. The second measurement result may be modulated and transmitted over the DC power line.
