Summary:A method for producing a solar photovoltaic panel with an embedded RFID, and resultant product, are disclosed. A layup is formed of at least a first lamination layer and a plurality of electrically connected solar photovoltaic cells. At least a second lamination layer is added to the layup, and a lamination process is applied, forming a solar photovoltaic panel. An RFID tag is embedded in the panel before, during or after applying the lamination process. The RFID tag may be embedded between a front layer and a back layer, between sheets of ethylene vinyl acetate, between a backside of the layup and a junction box, or in an adhesive, sealant or polymerizing material. A solar photovoltaic panel with an embedded RFID tag is thereby formed. Instantiation information pertaining to the individual solar photovoltaic panel, including installation location information or test information, and product information are stored in the RFID tag.
