[RE-wrenches] Cell temperature (back of module temp) effects on yearly kWh predicted generation

2011-01-12 Thread Jim MacDonald
Hello wrenches We have a customer that wants us to promise kWh generation on a system, by relying on just an irradiance sensor. I think that a cell temperature sensor should be used as well to get a more accurate picture of the actual weather conditions that the array will experience. I'm

Hi Wrencher's I am working on a system with 10 inverters. The output of all 10 single phase inverters will be combined in a main lug only panel located on the 8th floor (each inverter will have a 2 pole breaker). The MLO Panel will be protected by a fused switch located in the basement. Does

Al, Are the inverters located inside on the 8th floor with the MLP panel or are they located on the roof? Mark Frye Berkeley Solar Electric Systems 303 Redbud Way Nevada City, CA 95959 (530) 401-8024 http://www.berkeleysolar.com/ www.berkeleysolar.com _ From:

I had a similar situation in Minnesota, my local inspector was puzzeled but the regional inspector said ABSOLUTLY  the solar equipment has to be shut off with no more than 6 motions of the hand.  I combined the AC into a panel of 12 breakers, with one main (i had 12 inverters).  For the DC side

I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, however Dr. Perez in Albany NY was working on developing a weather based performance guarantee for NY. It may help with your research.

OK, So what is your plan with regard to 690.14 (D)? It is interesting to ask, do the disconnects required by 690.14 (D) also have to comply with or be counted in with 690.14 (4) and (5). 690.13 and 690.14 are pretty confusing in the use of the term disconnect. Which sections apply to the
