1. A method for direct current (DC) power line communication in a photovoltaic system, comprising:

  • transferring power between at least one photovoltaic device and a load using a power line;

    performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by the load;

    detecting MPPT being performed by the load; and

    in response to detecting the MPPT being performed by the load, causing the at least one photovoltaic device to remain enabled,wherein the steps of performing MPPT and detecting MPPT are performed by different respective devices.
