Solar panel personality engine
First Claim
1. A solar panel, comprising:
- a plurality of condition detection devices configured to;
detect a plurality of conditions that the solar panel is exposed to, wherein each condition is triggered by an operational event that the solar panel is encountering, andgenerate condition data that provides information as to each of the conditions that the solar panel is exposed to and each operational event that triggered each of the conditions that the solar panel is encountering; and
a personality engine configured to;
analyze the condition data provided by each of the condition detection devices to determine a behavioral action from a plurality of behavioral actions that the solar panel is to execute in response to each operational event that the solar panel is encountering, andexecute the determined behavioral action so that each executed behavioral action is a response to each operational event that the solar panel is encountering,wherein the personality engine is further configured to;
analyze the condition data provided by each of the condition detection devices to determine a type of operational event that generated each of the conditions detected by each of the condition detection devices; and
categorize each of the conditions into an operational event category selected from a plurality of operational event categories based on the type of operational event that triggered each of the conditions,wherein the personality engine is further configured to associate each of the behavioral actions to at least one operational event category so that each behavioral action associated with each operational event category that is executed by the personality engine responds to the operational event that the solar panel is encountering,wherein the personality engine is further configured to;
randomly select a behavioral action associated with an operational event category that a condition detected by at least one condition detection device is categorized within; and
execute the randomly selected behavioral action so that the solar panel responds to the operational event that the solar panel is encountering.

Abstract
A solar panel is disclosed that detects conditions triggered by operational events and then selects behavioral actions for the solar panel to execute in response to the operational events. Condition detection devices detect conditions that the solar panel is exposed to where each condition is triggered by an operational event that the solar panel is encountering. The condition detection devices generate condition data that provides information as to each of the conditions that the solar panel is exposed to and each operational event that triggered each of the conditions that the solar panel is encountering. A personality engine analyzes the condition data provided by the condition detection devices to determine a behavioral action that the solar panel is to execute in response to each operational event that the solar panel is encountering and executes the determined behavioral action to respond to each operational event that the solar panel is encountering.
