Solar panel transmitter pairing process

A system, comprising:

• a modulator configured to generate a communication signal to be transmitted to a local management unit connected to a photovoltaic module;
• and
• a local management unit configured to receive a power line communication signal from a pairing device, wherein the local management unit is configured to:
• receive a unique pairing sequence;
• pair to a first device;
• and
• receive communications from the first device, wherein the local management unit is configured to ignore communications from a second device that is not paired to the local management unit.
