Photovoltaic systems design
Photovoltaic systems design
(OP)
Hi all
The company that I work for is in the process to be involved in the design of small photovoltaic systems for schools and/or government buildings to support or backup communication rooms, but I have no expertise at all with the photovoltaic system design.
I want to know if any of you could provide me some information about the design of these systems northern New Jersey so I can begin in the right way. Are there some books or some literature that you know about? It will be helpful.
Any info on this matter will be appreciated.

NEC Article 690 Solar Photovoltaic Systems may apply. UL Standard 1741 Inverters, Converters, and Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems and IEEE Standard 929 Utility Interface of Residential and Intermediate Photovoltaic Systems are applicable to PV systems with inverters.

I would also suggest you to get data for the nearest location of the solar installation eg Isolation, Isolation clearness index Equivalent number of No Sun days, Air temperature etc. You can get this from this site

Hope this helps.
