New designs and installations of photovoltaic-array fields with low balance-of-system costs
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6397572
The design, development, and prototype installation of low-cost, modular array fields for flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) systems are described. Key features of the array field balance-of-system (BOS) components including structures, foundations, intermodule connection, field wiring, and system grounding are identified. Cost projections for the two alternative building-block array-field designs which have been developed show a significant reduction in the BOS costs compared to that experienced in previous PV installations. Prototype array fields of each design have been installed in the Sandia Test Facility.
