An off-grid installation has a 1HP pump that is on 10% of the time and a 20W light that is on 100% of
the time. What is the monthly energy use? - ANSWER-68KWh
1HP = 746W
746W * 0.1 * 24hours * 30days = 53712Wh
20W * 24hrs * 30days = 14400Wh
14400 + 53712 = 68112Wh
68kWh
What kind of ground faults do most inverters detect? - ANSWER-DC
Inverters detect dc ground faults. AC ground faults are detected on the AC side of the inverter at the
distribution paned (MSP, load center). Most inverters are not connected to high or medium voltage.
Medium voltage is thousands of volts, large utility scale inverters are connected to medium voltage
via a transformer
Current carrying ability of a conductor (wire) is called - ANSWER-Ampacity
According to ohms law and voltage drop, the relationship between voltage drop and current is -
ANSWER-Proportional. Ohms law: V = I*R
More current makes more voltage drop. This is a reason why we need a larger wire with more
current, so the wire resistance is less with a larger wire and there will be less voltage drop.
An array in a hot and dry place is not producing as expected in summer time. Which of the following
is NOT a likely problem:
a) Decreased ac wire size and voltage loss
b) String size too short
C) String size too long
D) Soiling - ANSWER-C) String size too short. When it is hot, voltage can be low. Too long of a string
would be a problem when it is too cold not too hot.
When using a digital multimeter, what is the first thing you should do? - ANSWER-Inspect the meter.
Always inspect first, look before you touch
is the worst design error?
A) BIPV on a commercial job
B) A fast-growing tree to the north of an array in Idaho
C) PV at 5-degree tilt at 40 degrees latitude
D) Different tilt angles in a PV source circuit - ANSWER-D) Different tilt or azimuth operation within a
source circuit is bad. Series connections should not have different orientations
MPPT is for - ANSWER-MPPT is maximum power point tracking and will optimize the energy
harnessed from PV. Some inverters have multiple MPPTs. Charge controllers often, but don't always,
have MPPTs
Concentrated PV:
A) Only works with direct sunlight
B) Usually has a single axis tracker
C) Will get 30% power during cloudy conditions
D) Is using heat to make electricity - ANSWER-A) Only works in direct sunlight. usually works with 2-
axis trackers to always point at the sun and will not work at all in cloudy conditions. Concentrated PV
=! Concentrating Solar thermal
Fall protection should be used at heights over - ANSWER-6 feet
Parallel PV circuit connections increase - ANSWER-Parallel increase current. Series increase voltage
Optimal tilt for off-grid PV system in the winter - ANSWER-Latitude + 15 degrees is Optimal tilt to
maximize winter production. The sun is lower in the winter, requiring a higher tilt angle
What is the most acceptable rating of an enclosure for exposed circuit conductors mounted on an
outside wall? - ANSWER-NEMA 3R
Bypass diodes are located in the
A) Combiner box
B) Inverter
C) Wiring harness
D) PV Module - ANSWER-Bypass diodes are in PV module junction box. Diverts current around a
group of cells if one is shaded. Usually 3 diodes/PV module
PV array at higher elevation would tend to produce more - ANSWER-Current. Higher elevation, less
atmosphere, more irradiance, more current. High elevation can also be cooler meaning more voltage
from cold temps.
How much 14% efficient PV fits on 25 Square Meters
A) 3000W
B) 4.5kW
C) 4000W
D) 3.5kW - ANSWER-D) 3.5kW. 14% efficient = 0.14*1000W/M^2 = 140 W/m^2
140 * 25 = 3500W = 3.5kW
