This book focuses on the rapidly maturing solar photovoltaic (PV)
industry, which is achieving an ever-increasing share of U.S. and
global power production. There is a growing need for all
stakeholders - owners, maintenance technicians, utilities, and
installers - to fully understand the operations and maintenance of
PV systems, and how to monitor and diagnose systems post
installation. Recognizing this need, this book covers monitoring
and diagnostic techniques and technologies, including how to
identify the causes of poor performance, and measure and verify
power production. Drawing on global case studies, it details how to
achieve optimal PV power output in the field through an overview of
basic electrical, the solar PV module and Balance of System, and
processes and software for monitoring, measurement, and
verification. It also provides an overview of the North American
Board of Certified Energy Practitioner's (NABCEP) new PV System
Inspector credential, which will be outlined in the final chapter.
Equipping the reader with the knowledge and confidence required to
maximize the output of solar PV installations, Solar Photovoltaics
Power Optimization will be an essential resource for PV
practitioners and students.

Following an overview of the technical and historical development
of the electric grid in the U.S. and Europe, this guide reviews
hydropower, solar photovoltaics, wind energy, fuel cell, and
battery technologies. The author also presents models for the
connection of these renewable energy sources from large-scale to
on-site and community power/microgrids. The models are explained
through case studies in the developed and developing worlds that
explore how technical evaluations are conducted, policy incentives
implemented, and project finance applied. Considering the
increasing importance of renewable energy for climate change
mitigation, this book provides an overview of how renewable energy
sources are integrated into the grid to promote better
understanding among students and business professionals in the
utility sector and across industries. Most literature on grid
interconnection is highly technical, assuming an in-depth
understanding of electrical engineering. With the rise of clean
technologies and the diversity of interconnection models, this
guide fills a gap in the existing literature by equipping
non-technical business managers with the salient information they
need to make critical decisions for their organizations.
