PVcase Roof Mount makes electrical design faster, more efficient, and less prone to errors. This article briefly introduces the features and functions of the Electrical design menu.
To start your electrical design, open the Electrical design menu.
The menu includes four tabs: Inverters, Stringing, Inverters configuration, Cable trays, and Cabling.
Each tab corresponds to a key stage of the electrical design process:
- Inverters: You can select one of the inverter models included in the Component library and one of placement options (on the roof/inside the building). These setups have a big impact on the system layout and efficiency.
- Stringing: You can apply different stringing types (single-row, U-stringing, snake stringing, custom stringing) and define the use of optimizers. This affects energy yield and system performance.
- Inverters configuration: Once your inverters are in place, you can select between a basic configuration or a configuration with MPPTs. You can also choose between automatic (Auto) or manual (Manual) string assignment, depending on the level of control and customization you need.
- Cable trays: You can define the cable trays that will be used as paths for the cabling.
- Cabling: You can specify the inverter configuration (basic vs. MPPT), as well as aspects such as string assignment, color coding, labeling, and printing MPPT/SLD information. You can also configure cable trays and cabling options (Auto, Manual).
In the articles of this section, you will learn more about each one.
