Description / Abstract:
This guide addresses the design, equipment applicability, and
hardware installation of electrically safe, stand-alone, and
grid-connected PV power systems operating at less than 50 kW
output. It discusses storage batteries and other generating
equipment only in brief. This guide is PV-specific and is based on
good engineering practices speciÞc to the U.S.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to describe PV-specific topics or
components relating to the design and installation of PV power
systems that affect safety and to suggest good engineering safety
practices for PV electrical balance of system design, equipment
selection, and hardware installation. The areas to be emphasized
are those PV-unique electrical power areas that would be of value
to a team consisting of a PV engineer working with an electrical
contractor, or a person with significant experience in both
areas.
