6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel array design specifications]

What is a minimum PV array voltage?

PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start. Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V. Maximum PV Array open circuit voltage is 250V. Maximum PV Array short circuit current is 35A. Minimum number of cells in series: 144 (4x 12V panel or 2x 24V panel in series). Maximum: 360 cells (10x 12V or 5x 24 panel in series).

What is a residential solar PV system?

Residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can bring significant value to any residential project. Most Canadian grid-connected solar PV systems are designed with the modest goal of reducing grid electricity use to some extent.

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.

Is mechanical design of a PV array within the scope of this document?

Mechanical design of the PV array is not within the scope of this document. BRE digest 489 ‘Wind loads on roof-based Photovoltaic systems’, and BRE Digest 495 ‘Mechanical Installation of roof-mounted Photovoltaic systems’, give guidance in this area.

What are the design criteria for a grid connect PV system?

The actual design criteria could include: specifying a specific size (in kWp) for an array; available budget; available roof space; wanting to zero their annual electrical usage or a number of other specific customer related criteria. Determining the energy yield, specific yield and performance ratio of the grid connect PV system.

What are the requirements for a solar array mounting system?

The solar array mounting system and connection must be provided with a minimum manufacturing warranty of 10 years. The system must comply with AS/NZS 5033 and Clean Energy Council Installation guidelines.
