HVAC PV add on energy reduction appliance at commercial strip mall.
Here's the design for each rooftop air conditioning system. Please comment on what could possibly go wrong or what I'm missing.
(6) 350W 48VDC panels installed on flat roof using ballast mounts
(3) DS3 APS microinverters attached under every 2 panels
(1) APS ECU monitor
microinverter single phase 240VAC power outputs wired to load side disconnect of 3-5 Ton air conditioning condensers or package units in sight of panels.
Not looking for utility electricity buyback - just reduction in local energy use especially during summer peak periods.
Cheers,
