Commercial Solar Sydney
The RK Solar team recently had the opportunity to install a 29.5kW commercial solar system for a high-density property in Sydney.
Commercial Solar System Components:
- Solar Panels: 59x Trina Vertex 500W – TSM-DE18M(II)
- Solar Inverters: 2x Sungrow 10kW 3-Phase inverter (SG10RT)
- Solar Battery: Sungrow 9.6KWh Battery (SBR096)
- Mounting System: Clenergy PV-ezRack
Solar Panel Installation: Challenges
Installations on high-rise buildings can be challenging. Things like space, mobility for installers, and strong winds are factors that make it tougher than a normal residential installation.
One of the biggest challenges that we had in this job, was taking all 59 panels from the ground floor to the rooftop.
The parking lot area and driveway space made it suitable to be used only by pedestrians and cars and not bigger vehicles like a forklift. So, it was out of the question for us to get the forklift to do the heavy lifting to the rooftop.
Our team parked the company truck about 60 meters from the building. We carried all 59 solar panels and other components into the building, took them up to the highest floor via the building lift, and then proceeded to carry the panels through a narrow set of stairs to the rooftop area.
Our electricians also needed to safely connect the cables from the rooftop, all the way to the ground floor, where the electrical room is.
Commercial Solar System Features
Solar Panels
- Higher power:
The panels have a better temperature coefficient (-0.35%) resulting in more power generation. The Vertex modules conversion efficiency can reach up to 21%, boasting a power output of over 500W. - Multi-busbar technology:
Multi-busbar, with the capability to increase light absorption, perfectly matches the large-area cell. Technology integration enables these Vertex modules to achieve higher power and power generation capacity per watt. - 1/3-cut technology:
1/3-cut replaces the traditional half-cut technology and solves the issues resulting from high system current while reducing power loss.
Solar Inverters
Features:
- Quick arc fault circuit interrupter (reducing fire hazards)
- High anti-corrosion rating at C5 (suitable for coastal installation)
- Smart IV curve scanning – quick troubleshooting
- Wider MPPT voltage –higher system yield
- Over-the-air firmware updates
- 10-year warranty by Sungrow
Solar Battery
Features:
- High anti-corrosion rating at C5 (suitable for coastal installation).
- Safe battery chemistry (LiPO).
- Modular stackable design (no wiring involved).
- Stack 3 modules (9.6kWh) to 8 modules (25.6kWh) per battery unit.
- 5-year warranty by Sungrow.
