A photovoltaic module is described, the module including at least one photovoltaic cell. The module also includes means for storing an identifier for the photovoltaic module, a sensor for sensing the value of at least one parameter indicative of the operation of the photovoltaic module and an electronic communication device for transmitting data comprising the value of the at least one parameter and the identifier for the photovoltaic module to a remote device. There is also described an electronic communication device for a photovoltaic module and an array of such photovoltaic modules, which may form an energy generation system. Methods of monitoring the operation of one or more photovoltaic modules as well as managing and communicating with the modules are also described.
