First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- software that, when executed, causes the apparatus to;
receive, from a control circuit of at least one solar panel, data that was collected by the at least one solar panel,detect, based on the received converted data, a problem in the at least one solar panel, andoutput, to a display and based on the detected problem, a status of the at least one solar panel corresponding to a time at which the data was collected.

Abstract
A system includes a control circuit and a computer. The control circuit includes a control circuit configured to receive data from at least one solar panel, convert the received data according to a communication protocol, and forward the converted data via the communication protocol. The computer includes software that, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to receive, via the communication protocol, the converted data, detect, based on the received converted data, a problem in the at least one solar panel, and output, to a display and based on the detected problem, a status of the at least one solar panel corresponding to a time at which the data was collected.

20. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a central analysis system from a control circuit of at least one solar panel, data that was collected by the at least one solar panel; detecting a problem in the at least one solar panel based on the data; and outputting, for display and based on the detected problem, a status of the at least one solar panel corresponding to a time at which the data was collected.
