- ANSWER
An array in sacramento California in August is producing less than it is supposed to.
Which of the following is a probable problem? - ANSWER Ac wire size is smaller and
voltage is lost

When using a digital multimeter, what should you do first? - ANSWER Inspect the meter
, ANSWER
What is the worst design mistake? ANSWER Unequal tilt angles in a PV source circuit
ANSWER
The low design temperature is -20 degrees celsius and the Voc temperature correction
factor for your PV is -0.34%/degrees celsius. How many modules can you put in series
for an inverter that cannot go over 500V if the characteristics of your module are Isc =
8A, Voc = 29V? (-20°C - 25°C = -45°C) (-45°C × -0.34%/°C = 15.3% increase Voc) (1.15 ×
37Voc = 42.6V cold) (500V/42.6V= ?) - ANSWER 11 (11.7)
-

END
For a TRANSFORMELESS INVERTER, what type of wire should be used when exposed to
the elements outdoor on PV source circuits? - ANSWER PV wire
