  • receiving with an inverter a response request transmitted by the controller, the response request including a length of a response time window;

    determining a random response time for the inverter based on the length of the response time window;

    transmitting a response to the controller at the response time, the response including an identification of the inverter; and

    in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the controller in response to the transmitted response, ignoring subsequent response requests from the controller.
