1. An apparatus comprising:
a communication interface configured to:
obtain a first parameter associated with a first alternating current (AC) phase of a first inverter and a second AC phase of the first inverter; and
obtain a second parameter associated with a first AC phase of a second inverter and a second AC phase of the second inverter; and
a controller circuit configured to determine, based on the first parameter and the second parameter, a position of the second inverter relative to the first inverter.
