All types of solar equipment, from solar panels to inverters to batteries, have a long list of technical specifications that help you understand the equipment's performance, quality, and durability.
Grid connection for commercial solar power plants is often 11 kV or higher, so it’s usually necessary to step up the voltage using one or more transformers. The type of transformer should be selected based on the required capacity, its position within the electrical system, and the physical location and environmental conditions of the site.
Cables that are specifically designed for DC solar power generation should always be used, and the cables must be assessed based on the cable voltage rating, the current carrying capacity of the cable, and the minimization of voltage drop due to the cabling.
In general, the decisions regarding layout and shading potential, panel tilt angle and orientation, and PV module configuration are the most critical for reaching the optimal balance of cost and yield. Specific site conditions often inform general layout decisions such as row spacing and the overall arrangement of solar energy arrays.
This article will focus on these solar power system components and how to select and size them to meet energy needs. A complete solar power system is made of solar panels, power inverters–specifically DC to AC–charger controllers, and backup batteries. Solar panels are the most common component. They are also referred to as photovoltaic panels.
The plant substation will likely contain equipment such as LV/MV transformers, MV switchgear, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, protection, and metering systems. As with any electrical system, it’s critical to ground the system to protect against electric shock, fire hazards, and lightning strike damage.
