What is the difference between project management & photovoltaics?

Project Management – a team of Seco-Solar’s technicians and project managers carrying on-site tasks for the project. Photovoltaics – In the text PV cable means one type of cable in the pro-ject, connecting between panels and from panels to combiner boxes.

What type of inverter do I Need?

Inverters. The scale of the project and the facility’s voltage service will dictate the type and quantity of inverters ordered for a given project. String inverters (30-50 kWac each, typically) are the most common solution, but central inverters can be appropriate for large ground-based projects above 1000 kW.

Which inverter is required for a combined PV and storage system?

Combined PV and storage system topologies will generally require a bi-directional inverter, either as the primary inverter solution (DC-coupled) or in addition to the unidirectional PV inverters (AC-coupled).

Does a grid interactive solar PV system replace a utility service?

Grid interactive solar PV systems do not replace, or in any way disrupt, the facility’s existing utility service. The above diagram shows the basic building blocks of a modern grid interactive solar PV system.

What type of inverter does sunpeak use?

String inverters (30-50 kWac each, typically) are the most common solution, but central inverters can be appropriate for large ground-based projects above 1000 kW. SunPeak utilizes no microinverters in any of its systems. Racking. There are many different types of racking available for both roof and ground-based projects.

How much does an inverter monitoring program cost?

The cost of the monitoring program can range from minimal (e.g., checking the total electricity generated as reported by the inverter once per year) to exceeding $100,000/yr in high-accuracy monitoring equipment that is watched daily for signs of problems or needed cleaning.
