Commercial solar PV interconnection
Single-line diagram for a commercial PV array feeding a combiner, inverter, AC disconnect, production meter, and main switchboard.
For the solar designer
Scenario
Commercial PV one-lines have a recognizable chain: parallel DC arrays, combiner, isolator, inverter, AC protection, meter, and point of interconnection. The Utility feeder lands independently on the switchboard instead of masquerading as another step in the PV conversion chain.
Annotation key
solarmarks the generation source.- Repeated
solar -> hubconnections create a real fan-in with one cable label per source drop. hubstands in for the combiner point.watthour_metercaptures the production metering requirement.
