Sonoma CA (SPX) May 01, 2008 The demonstration ground-mounted solar electric system was a designed, engineered and constructed solar-power project including the balance of systems (BOS) is proven and working. The BOS uses a high V(oc) design which is the leading design technique today. The high V(oc) maximization technique used in a proven and reliable demonstration ground-mounted solar electric system was reviewed and approved with compliance with building codes and completed in 2004. The lower relative array temperature and higher V(oc) design was the correct answer 2003. The lower relative temperature high V(oc) design remains the correct answer and desired solution in 2008. A module and array design implemented is now leading technique for PV array and balance of systems design. The modular design and approach would be used - and proven - for construction highly supportable larger systems for commercial and agricultural situations. Simplify and reduce the number of conductors, length of conductors, and temperature of conductors. Simplify and increase the number of modules without increasing the number of photovoltaic source circuits and increase value of the energy without increasing the size of the array. Although there are differences between roof and ground-mounted systems depending on the specific situation, the flexibility of various incrementally innovative implementations of ground-mounted structures is apparent - residential, commercial, and agricultural. In this situation, the ground-mounted peak and load shaving photovoltaic (PV) system was the right decision then, remains the right decision now. By getting a PV solar energy system right the first time, has demonstrated the appropriate and suitable approach of a ground-mounted utility interactive solution and implementation - along with the decision choosing a ground or roof mount. Although there are no specific provisions and distinctions between performance of mounting types, if the average standoff is increased > six inches, for instance, then a typical ground-mounted implementation would increase the eligible ($) incentive, along with the value of energy ($) differences in considering the module temperature coefficient of power and ampacity of conductors in conduits! If you would like a ground-mounted solar electric systems evaluation, contact us for more information or for a solar site shading analysis using 3.0.12.0 software - standard in the solar industry and help you understand why ground-mounted solar electric system may be better than most. Some of have already gotten it. We would really like you to get it too - it's solar and it's simple! Martin Herzfeld has been in business since 2001 and has placed emphasis on the implementation of ground and pole mounted photovoltaics. He has established ideal relationships with well-known distributors and has a valid sellers permit and is listed as a 'BBB Accredited Business.' With his ability for complete documentation, tracking, financial status of projects, his presentations are easy to track and in a concise and understandable format. Mr. Herzfeld is customer-oriented and has developed a positive reputation with clients and vendors (hybrid and wholesale solar energy systems and equipment distributors).
