SUS6006 - ADVANCED PV

Course Description

Learner Outcomes

Students who complete the workshop will be able to perform the following:

• Determine requirements for disconnects and series fusing, including labeling

• Perform interconnection and labeling calculations for single- and three-phase AC services

• Specify inverters based on system variables, and size inverter subpanel combiners

• Perform calculations related to mounting PV arrays, including inter-row shading and uplift forces

• Examine array mounting options for large systems

• Size grounding conductors for the AC and DC side of the system, and identify causes of, and troubleshooting procedures for ground-faults

• Optimize the match between an inverter and array, and perform sizing and interconnection calculations for commercial-scale systems

• Identify installation considerations to meet NEC requirements and ensure long-lasting, safe systems

• Locate and troubleshoot common installation errors when commissioning a system

• Perform production analysis calculations to compare expected output to measured output for an operating system
