Photovoltaic panel bracket overall drawing

Does proficad support photovoltaic circuit diagrams?

ProfiCAD supports the drawing of photovoltaic circuit diagrams. In addition to the common electrical engineering symbols, the library includes symbols such as solar cells, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, inverters, etc. Should you need more symbols, you can create them in the symbol editor. Some sample drawings (click for full size):

How much space does a photovoltaic system need?

Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules. The design of a photovoltaic system, from the public operator’s network to the photovoltaic modules, requires careful planning and compliance with local regulations.

How much space does a photovoltaic module occupy?

Photovoltaic modules installed on a sloping roof or facade occupy an area of approximately 8 m2/kWp. Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules.

What ancillaries can I attach to my PV array?

From service walkways to conduit, wire trays, optimizers, other MLPEs and monitoring equipment, you can use S-5! clamps, brackets and GRIPPERFIX ® universal utility mounting system to securely attach the above ancillaries to your PV array.

What materials are used for mounting base brackets?

Mounting base brackets are fabricated from Series 6000 structural marine grade aluminum. 5/16" hardware included. "L" Feet are fabricated from high-strength 3/16" aluminum and include a vertical slot for adjusting to irregular surfaces. 5/16" coated hardware included. "L" Feet are fabricated from high-strength 3/16" aluminum.

What angle should a panel array be installed?

On flat-roof buildings (particularly commercial installations), panel arrays are usually installed on racks at an angle of 15–30°. Some companies typically only install at 15°; this allows for more modules to be placed on a roof, with less wind loads, lower cost, and the same yield. Yield is surprisingly insensitive to inclination.
