INRE 15040 - Balance of System 0.25 CR
Beyond the PV cells, inverters, batteries, and charge controllers, a solar PV installation includes many other components such as racking apparatus, disconnects, raceways, output and input, and many other parts that are required for a complete installation. The components that connect the primary components of PV installation together are just as critical as any other part of that system. For instance, if a disconnect switch is improperly sized and fails, the inverter or other component it is protecting could likewise fail or become a hazard. In this module, students will explore the additional components required for a successful and efficient PV System installation.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Select proper photovoltaic system components based on their characteristics.
- Understand the process of converting sunlight to direct current and alternating current
- Define the benefits of dc current and ac current in different situations
- Examine different photovoltaic systems and when one may have an advantage over another.
