Engineering Supervision for Bifacial PV Systems

Bifacial PV modules convert both front- and back-side irradiance into electricity. This bifacial boost improves solar project performance both in terms of yield and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Due to these benefits, bifacial PV modules are...

Relating EV Charging and Energy Use to ICE vehicles

There are many things about EVs that are similar to an internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicle, but there are also some important differences and some less understood equivalencies. In this article, I will discuss some of these comparisons...

AC Aggregation on Commercial Rooftops

The ac collection system in commercial roof-mounted PV systems generally extends from the inverter ac output terminals to the low-voltage point of interconnection (POI). The exception is when the system interconnects at medium-voltage levels, in...
