A general contractor may face a choice between using an electrical subcontractor or a solar subcontractor to install the PV system. A good solar contractor will have the expertise in solar PV systems plus qualified electricians on staff.
The heart of a photovoltaic system is the solar module. Many photovoltaic cells are wired together by the manufacturer to produce a solar module. When installed at a site, solar modules are wired together in series to form strings. Strings of modules are connected in parallel to form an array.
In general, the decisions regarding layout and shading potential, panel tilt angle and orientation, and PV module configuration are the most critical for reaching the optimal balance of cost and yield. Specific site conditions often inform general layout decisions such as row spacing and the overall arrangement of solar energy arrays.
All decisions regarding the engineering of a large solar PV power system must be carefully considered so that initial decisions made with cost savings in mind do not result in more maintenance costs and decreased performance later in the system’s lifespan.
System Grounding – System grounding requires taking one conductor from a two-wire system and connecting it to ground. In a DC system, this means bonding the negative conductor to ground at one single point in the system. This must be accomplished inside the inverter, not at the PV array.
There are several different types of mounting systems that can be used for PV power plants, such as fixed-tilt support structures, single- or double-axis tracking structures, marine-grade support structures that prevent corrosion, and so forth.
