Assignment | Refer to the scenario on the first page of this lesson. Imagine that, In addition to working in procurements, you are also a solar analyst for this company. You have a client in Charlotte, NC. The client has a farm where he wants to install 10 kW system and 240V service. Given the PV module used (Trina solar TSM-250PC/PA05A), you are to come up with the estimated annual energy yield. (Note: By this time you should have downloaded the latest version of SAM and completed the Simulation Exercise [1]. Also, the choice of power conditioning units including inverters is not considered at this time, so use Enphase Energy M 215 if SAM asks for it.) Please note that Enphase 215 is a micro-inverter such that each PV module requires a single micro-inverter. These micro-inverters are finaly connected in parallel.
DeliverablePrepare a report showing both simulation results for SAM and PVWatt. The report is to be no more than two double-spaced pages in a 12 point font. Include the following in your report:
