Abstract
A photovoltaic power generation plant includes a plurality of photovoltaic generators cooperative in producing photovoltaic power. Coupled with the photovoltaic generators in the plurality of photovoltaic generators are respective sensor devices, the sensor devices including sensor circuits of the individual current-to-voltage characteristics of the photovoltaic generators. The sensor circuits in the sensor devices can be activated to sense the individual current-to-voltage characteristics of the photovoltaic generators, with the individual current-to-voltage characteristic being indicative of the functionality of each photovoltaic generator.
