<p dir="ltr">All electrical systems require that forms of circuit protection be applied wherever necessary and when it is best practice to do so. Properly designed circuit protection safeguards electrical equipment and people against a fault, for example when carrying out any work on the system, such as troubleshooting. Relevant local and international standards, local service rules and the network operator’s regulations should provide the basis for the system’s overall protection design.</p>

<ul>
<li>Calculate the DC overcurrent protection sizing requirements</li>
<li>Select appropriate DC disconnection devices</li>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"></p><p></p><p>The design of a grid-connected PV
system must ensure that the proposed solar array matches the capabilities of
the chosen inverter, in particular the voltage, current and power ratings.
There are specific, extensive calculations that must be performed to determine
which array configurations are suitable for connection to the proposed
inverter. These calculations are critical to prevent damage to the inverter and
maximise the system yield.</p>

<p>This course will teach you how to:</p>

<p></p><ul><li>Select an inverter</li><li>Calculate the minimum and maximum
number of modules in a string, using voltage and temperature</li><li>Calculate the maximum number of
parallel strings, using current and temperature</li><li>Calculate the maximum number of
modules in an array, using power</li><li>Identify appropriate configurations

This course develops competency in designing solar and battery systems that meet performance objectives while considering economic outcomes and documentation requirements. It examines system configurations, energy flows, and operating strategies used in modern installations.

The design and documentation concepts align with internationally recognised methodologies referenced in IEC 62548-1 (PV array design).
In this course you will learn about:
Solar and battery system configurations and energy flow principles
How to assess system performance, evaluate economic outcomes, and prepare technical system documentation
