<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"></p><p></p><p>A grid-connected
PV system must be designed for the specific site conditions where the system
will be installed. A well-resourced site assessment forms the basis for an
accurate system design and a safe system installation, and ensures that the PV
system will be able to operate at its full potential. The assessment process
also identifies any site-specific hazards and potential installation
challenges. The site assessment is made of two phases: a desktop study and an
on-site assessment. </p>
<p>This course will
teach you how to:</p>
<p></p><ul><li>Perform a desktop study and on-site assessment
for a grid connected PV system</li><li>Determine a suitable location for the PV array
and possible configurations</li><li>Identify mounting system requirements</li><li>Determine a suitable location for the inverter
and any monitoring equipment</li><li>Assess the site’s grid-connection practicalities</li><li>Understand the impact of local climate,
maintenance, and security requirements on the system design and installation</li></ul><p></p>
<p></p><p>This course is part of the Grid-Connected PV Systems training pathways. Before you enrol in this course, you should complete the Energy Assessment course.</p><p>Access will expire 1 year after enrolment.</p><br /><p></p>
