The Design of Northpoint Elementary School's Solar Energy System
After taking into account Unit 5's goals and assessing multiple variables, we designed the most optimal array that puts safety at the forefront. The panels that we chose are Tier 1 panels, meaning they are made by a reliable solar manufacturer with a strong reputation for quality. Additionally, we decided on SolarEdge inverters because they have built-in rapid shutdown capabilities and provide us with the opportunity to utilize optimizers. Rapid shutdown is a safety feature that automatically de-energizes a system in case of an emergency, and optimizers are devices that provide us with the capability to monitor the health of panels individually, and therefore identify and solve issues immediately at the source. |
