Systems and methods for an identification protocol between a local controller and a master controller in a photovoltaic power generation system

A system, comprising:

• a solar module;
• and
• a local management unit coupled to the solar module, the local management unit comprising memory storing software instructions, and further comprising a controller coupled to the memory, the controller configured via the software instructions to execute a method comprising:
• determining whether the memory is storing a configuration profile;
• in response to a determination that the memory is not storing the configuration profile, sending an identification code to a master management unit, the identification code associated with the local management unit;
• receiving, from the master management unit, an authentication of the identification code;
• and
• in response to receiving the authentication, receiving, in the local management unit, a first profile from the master management unit, the first profile corresponding to the identification code;
• and
• controlling the solar module coupled with the local management unit for active operation for a duration time according to the first profile.
