CE506: Code-compliant Conductor Sizing for Grid-direct PV Systems

General Admission

<div id="wwyl-half-text">
<p>Modeling is a complicated topic - and performance calculation tools offer nearly endless âknobsâ to turn, any of which can impact the projected production. A fundamental understanding of what goes on âbehind the scenesâ is important to be able to make the right decisions when selecting data, adjusting system assumptions and de-rates, and comparing results so you can be confident when you make a production prediction or design choice.  Don't worry, the heavy math is left to the modeling tool!</p>
<p><strong>Topics include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Examining and applying the core calculations used to predict production of PV arrays</li>
<li>Comparing the various modeling programs on the market, and their different approaches</li>
<li>Interpreting simulation results from performance models</li>
<li>Relating how system design choices impact the production of the array</li>
</ul>
