Transcript

Walk a solar, battery and EV charging site in 3D. It is free, in your browser. Survey it first. Name every part and find the places that isolate the site. Choose the modules per string, so the inverter is safe on the coldest day. Then check a string with the PV tester. Read its voltage, its current and its peak power. Commission the system in the safe energising order. A wrong order is refused. Read the control pilot of a car that will not charge. Share supply between chargers. Eight levels, from the survey to load management, each with its own work order. Each ends in an automatic acceptance test. Open the Solar and EV lab free.
