A 20 kW system has a measured output of 18 kW at STC. What is the total system loss?
A site survey indicates a residential roof with a 4:12 pitch facing 20° east of south. The local latitude is 35°N, and the optimal tilt for maximum annual production is equal to latitude. What adjustment should be made to compensate for the roof’s orientation and tilt to achieve near-optimal output?
Which of the following is an NEC requirement regarding access for large-scale PV electric power production facilities?
A PV array’s tilt is 15° at a latitude of 35°N. What is the annual energy loss compared to optimal tilt?
A PV array is installed on a sloped roof with a 6:12 pitch. What is the minimum fastener pullout strength required if the uplift force is 200 lbs per attachment point?
Which temperature coefficient is used in the calculation to verify energy production of a PV system?
On a PV system larger than 100kw, which PV array design will provide the HIGHEST degree of performance monitoring.
Granularity, and ease of troubleshooting performance issues?
A system’s inverter efficiency drops from 97% to 94% due to aging. What is the percentage increase in energy loss?
