INRE 15050 - System Types

0.67 CR
PV systems are highly versatile electrical power systems. Every system requires components to conduct, control convert, distribute, and possibly store the energy produced by the array. The specific components required to depend on the type of system and functional requirements of the system and installation site. PV systems are broadly categorized by how they are or are not integrated with other electrical systems. In this module, students will examine the different types of PV systems and when they may or may not be advantageous to install.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Select proper photovoltaic system components based on their characteristics.
  2. Understand the process of converting sunlight to direct current and alternating current
  3. Define the benefits of dc current and ac current in different situations
  4. Examine different photovoltaic systems and when one may have an advantage over another.
