Systems and methods for solar panel tracking

A method for solar panel tracking comprising:

• given a plurality of solar panels installed in a solar farm with each solar panel having a panel identifier for solar panel information, scanning, by a scanner, the panel identifier of each solar panel;
• recording geographical information of an installation location for each solar panel at a time of scanning each solar panel;
• associating the geographical information for each solar panel to the solar panel information of each solar panel;
• and
• creating or updating a geographical database for solar panels, with each of the plurality of solar panels having an entry of solar panel information and associated geographical information.

A system for solar panel tracking comprising:

• a scanner that reads a panel identifier of each of multiple solar panels installed in a solar farm to obtain panel information of each solar panel;
• a geographical information receiver to record geographical information of each solar panel;
• a computing device coupled to the scanner and the geographical information receiver, the computing device associates the geographical information for each solar panel to the solar panel information of each solar panel;
• and
• a geographical database for the multiple solar panels, each solar panel having an entry of solar panel information and associated geographical information receiver.
