Photovoltaic energy in California

Photovoltaic sale to the electric company in Santa Clarita, California

Photovoltaic modules are the most visible part of a photovoltaic system, but, they are not the only component.

In the second image we can see some of the components of a photovoltaic installation for the sale of electricity to the grid. The left column is the CGP, the connection point between the electric company and the photovoltaic installation. The top box belongs to the photovoltaic seller and, the lower, which is open, to the electric company.

The remaining two columns consist of: ICP meters, transformers, fuses and a modem, all in the middle column and, differential switch, power on switch and intensity transformers, in the right column.

In the third image we can take a closer look at the connection point, called sectioning box, which belongs to the electric company and in the fourth image we see the two 32 kW invertors. The fifth image shows the inside of one of the invertors.
