2.2 Infrastructure Development This activity consists of training, design review and approval, and codes and standards development activities. Training occurs through multiple venues and in several subject areas. Poor installation has become a key issue with fielded PV systems; the RES have addressed this issue consistently. Activities began by providing training to interested parties and have evolved to the creation and establishment of a National Certification Program, an independent activity that the RES were instrumental in creating. Similarly, training of inspectors and installers is now evolving into a system of training trainers, providing an opportunity to reach a greater audience while minimizing investment. Technical assistance to the industry and users has resulted in an evolving design review and approval standard that provides guidance for uniform designs and system documentation. This activity promotes a level of quality recognized and practiced by other industries that provide recognized products in successful markets. Development of codes, standards, and certification addresses compliance to a set of prescribed recommendations in order to assure quality and safety. The RES’s proactive approach provides the opportunity to guide development of codes and standards that assure performance, quality, and safety without creating a cost burden for the industry. Certification of hardware creates and applies a uniform set of standards in a recognizable format that engenders consumer confidence. Certification is also the basis for assuring optimal awards from government incentive programs. 2.3 Long-Term Component Testing The RES provide unique environments for environmentally stressing PV components. Initially, the RES provided long-term exposure in hot/dry and hot/humid climates for stressing PV modules deployed in a field-like setting. More recently, a similar approach has begun to study the long-term performance of inverters in field- like outdoor configurations. Additional activities include placing the inverters in a distributed generation scenario to understand issues associated with controls and generator interactions. Both of these activities are complementary to SNL’s baseline tests that establish initial component performance parameters. 3. ResultsandAccomplishments • Training: o Trained >100 code officials in one-day workshops in New York and Florida. o Held four weeklong workshops that trained contractors to properly install PV systems (>50 trained). o Held NABCEP preparatory course for >100 people from across the United States (voluntary certification for PV installers). • FSEC/USDA/SNL Partnership: the USDA RUS has officially adopted FSEC’s Design Review Process as a prerequisite for placing systems on its list of materials. • Two inverters have been tested for industry: the Fronius IG3000 and one for beta testing. • Performed complete assessment of utility- scale PV power plants in Michigan, Arizona, and California for performance, reliability, and cost system benchmarks. • Performed PV system field tests of on-grid and off-grid PV systems: Tucson, AZ; Las Cruces, NM; Farmington, NM; Sacramento, CA; Yellowstone National Park, WY; Phoenix, AZ; Amarillo, TX; and Albuquerque, NM. • Performed 10-year reliability assessment of PV water pumping systems in Chihuahua, Mexico. • Prepared monthly I-V data analyses have for ASE Americas ribbon Si, two types of Shell Solar monocrystalline Si, and BP Solar a-Si:H and Uni-Solar Ovonic a-Si:H PV modules. • John Wiles served as Secretary of the PV Industry Forum; drafted 30 recommended changes to the 2005 National Electrical Code, of which 26 were adopted. • Technical Assistance: Monitoring and maintaining PV system in Dry Tortugas National Park. • Continuing progress made in benchmarking the performance and costs of about 150 PV systems installed in Florida.PDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar
