MicroInverter & AC PV Module Application Guide - Complete

For microinverters and AC (Alternating Current) PV (Photovoltaic) modules, a need exists for clear and consistent installation methods and code interpretations, which enable safer, more efficient installations, and reduction in the cost to own a solar system. This guide promotes the aforementioned by providing information about microinverter and AC PV module technologies, nationally recognized listing standards, listing processes, and industry-accepted methodology for installation, in compliance with the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) 70: NEC (National Electric Code).

This guide provides an overview of microinverter technology, installation practices that comply with NEC Article 690 (2008 and 2011 edition code cycles, except where so noted), listing standards used by NRTLs (Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory) to list the equipment for the application, NRTL listing process, and the markings and instructions for this type of equipment.

Grid Interactive "Grid Tie"

Grid connected solar electric systems convert sun light directly to electricity for local use and any extra power is fed to the local grid. These solar systems operate without an energy storage system (batteries) and have no consumable parts. The produced electricity is utilized by the customer, while any excess electricity is sold to the utility grid.

Stand-Alone Systems

Stand-alone PV systems are usually installed in remote areas, where there is no main grid or it is difficult or even impossible to use any other source of power. No other power system can match the reliability of an expertly designed and installed solar electric system. There are no moving parts, so the system is virtually maintenance free throughout the course of its lifetime. The operating cost is negligible, since there is no need for fuel, and it is fully automatic and suitable for unmanned applications.

Grid tie W/ battery Back Up

These systems combine the technologies of Stand Alone systems and Grid Tie systems offering the best of both worlds. These hybrid solar systems convert sun light directly into electricity providing power for the user and feeding any excess to the grid. They also charge your batteries and provide backup power to your designated circuits.
