Solar PV System Theory, Planning, NEC Design & Calculations

This book is intended for those who are willing to build foundational and professional knowledge of Solar PV Systems leading to System Designing in reference to National Electric Code. Readers may include but not limited to beginners, professionals, instructors, project managers, associations, institutes, and also those individuals who are preparing for NABCEP Exams. We will delve into the practical aspects of deploying solar photovoltaics, especially on rooftops, which are integrated into our urban landscapes. Starting from understanding the theory of Sun Energy, Photovoltaic Modules, Charge Controllers, Inverters and Batteries, chapters later in this book finally lead to various stages of System Designing which includes Initial planning, Proposals, Financial aspects, Site Surveying, On-Grid/Off-Grid Sizing calculations, and finally, design of electrical components in accordance with the National Electric Code (2020/2023). Principles of electrical design will enable us to optimize performance and maximize the safety aspects of this clean and inexhaustible energy resource. This book comes with comprehensive calculation examples which are necessary for any working professional. Moreover, this book has been designed to prepare an individual willing to take further challenge of industry exams or certificates like NABCEP. Hence, more than 200 sample questions with solved answeres or solutions have also been incorporated in the book to build the confidence in the preparation of such exams.(Note: Interioir of the Print is Black & White) Read more
