PVFARM Supports several wiring schemes. We use a simple naming convention:
CI = Central Inverter
SI = String Inverter
Mutiharness = Multiharness
Trunkbus= Trunkbus
These patterns will affect your layout significantly as PVFARM will attempt to optimize the tracker layout to minimize cabling for each scheme.
The details of the patterns are below.
SI_Multiharness
The pattern with Multi-harness and String inverter
ACFeeder - Whip - Extender - Multiharness
CI_Multiharness
The pattern with Multi-harness and Central inverter
DCFeeder - Whip - Extender - Multiharness
CI_HorTrunkbus
The pattern with horizontal Trunkbus and Combiners near the circuit
DCFeeder - Extender - Trunkbus
CI_VertTrunkbus
The pattern with vertical Trunkbus and Combiners near trenches
DCFeeder - Extender - Trunkbus
CI_HorTrunkbus_Trench
The pattern with horizontal Trunkbus and Combiners near trenches
DCFeeder - Extender - Trunkbus
