Systems and methods for solar panel tracking

Abstract

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.
