1 MW carport solar PV interconnection

This carport solar PV single line diagram shows a one-megawatt-scale commercial installation divided into four equal PV and inverter blocks. The blocks combine on a 480 V AC collection bus, pass through a main breaker, and step up through a 1 MVA transformer before connecting to a 12.47 kV utility feeder. This is a common layout where long carport rows make modular inverter blocks practical.

Ce que contient ce dessin

Comprenez les décisions qui le sous-tendent.

01

Four identical PV blocks isolate array and inverter maintenance areas.

02

The inverter outputs collect on one 480 V AC bus.

03

A 1600 A main breaker protects the low-voltage collection side.

04

A 1 MVA transformer raises voltage to the 12.47 kV intertie.

05

The recloser marks the controlled connection to the utility feeder.

Use this topology for a distributed carport field with a dedicated medium-voltage interconnection. Protection studies and utility-owned equipment requirements will vary by service territory.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Why are there four inverters?

Separate inverters align with four carport blocks and reduce the impact of a single equipment outage.

Why step up from 480 V?

Medium voltage reduces current and conductor size for an interconnection at this power level.

What does the recloser do?

It provides utility-style switching and protection at the feeder intertie.
