Abstract
A photovoltaic (PV) generator configured to enable a gateway computer to generate a network map. The PV generator including at least one PV module including a plurality of PV cells; a wireless communication interface; a powerline coupling configured to connect to a power line; and a module level power electronic (MLPE), the MLPE including processing circuitry and memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the MLPE to determine times of arrival (ToAs) between the MLPE and neighboring MLPEs included in neighboring PV generators, generate an adjacency list, the adjacency list including a list of the neighboring MLPEs and data corresponding to the ToAs for each of the listed neighboring MLPEs, and transmit the adjacency list to a gateway computer, enabling the gateway computer to generate a network map based on the adjacency list.
