This will require a geotechnical study of the site and can result in a significant cost savings. • Can you use a ballasted system? • What height does your system need to be to avoid being covered by snow, or vegetation? • If you decide to track, what are the lowest temperatures that system will see?

A typical modern GTI has a fixed unity power factor. Grid-tie inverters are also designed to quickly disconnect from the grid if the utility grid goes down. This requirement ensures that in the event of a blackout, the inverter will shut down to prevent harm to line workers who are sent to fix the power grid. Peak power tracking voltage: This represents the DC voltage range in which the inverter will operate. The designer must configure the strings so that during the majority of the year, the voltage of the strings will be within this range. This can be a difficult task since voltage will fluctuate with changes in temperature. Most grid-tie inverters include a maximum power point tracker on the input side that enables the inverter to extract an optimal amount of power from its intended power source.
