pv magazine Webinar | A practical guide to export-limited commercial PV systems

As distribution system capacity becomes increasingly constrained in high-solar markets like California and the Northeast, and compensation for excess generation decreases, developers are often choosing to apply for interconnection under non-export or export-limited terms to get their commercial projects approved faster and avoid grid upgrade costs.

Joining us to discuss this growing trend is Andrew Aldama, Solutions Director at GoodWe USA, who brings a wealth of experience in configuring PV systems for non-export or export-limited operation.

This presentation covers all the extra considerations necessary for these systems, including sizing to load, string inverter export controls and adding capacity to an existing system at an approved export level. It also touches on the code behind power control systems, important equipment listings and how EPCs can deliver what utilities and inspectors expect to see.

The ultimate goal is to help a broad audience understand the reasons behind choosing a non-export or export-limited system and the best practices involved in getting that system designed, approved and commissioned the right way.
