US 2026/0189184 A1 · PV MODULE SHAPE FITTING FOR PV MODULE AUTO MAPPING

Abstract

An autonomous icon orientation method for accurately representing the photovoltaic (PV) modules in a PV array on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer system. The method including obtaining a map of the PV array, the map including distances between pairs of the PV modules in the PV array; clustering the PV modules into one or more neighborhoods based on the distances; determining a dominant angle of rotation for the PV modules in a corresponding neighborhood, of the one or more neighborhoods, based on angles between the distances between the PV modules in the corresponding neighborhood; and automatically rotating the icons in the corresponding neighborhood based on the determined dominant angle of rotation.

A method of reorienting icons on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer system, the icons respectively representing photovoltaic (PV) modules in a PV array, the method comprising:

obtaining a map of the PV array, the map including distances between pairs of the PV modules in the PV array;
clustering the PV modules into one or more neighborhoods based on the distances;
determining a dominant angle of rotation for the PV modules in a corresponding neighborhood, of the one or more neighborhoods, based on angles between the distances between the PV modules in the corresponding neighborhood;
and
rotating the icons in the corresponding neighborhood based on the determined dominant angle of rotation.
