Plug and Play Components for Building Integrated PV Systems, Phase II Final Report, 20 February 2003 - 31 May 2007

摘要

Schott Solar, Inc. is developing innovative new products to facilitate the broad use of its PV modules in the current markets. This report summarizes the progress made by the company in these developments. This work was conducted under NREL's PV Manufacturing R&D Project, subcontract No. NDO-2-30628-05. The project is a two-phase effort. The first phase consisted of development and testing of a novel new flat-roof PV array mounting system, development of new PV array source circuit combiner boxes for the company's PV systems, testing and evaluation of fasteners used to secure mounting brackets to residential roofs, and the development of a simplified PV system interconnection device for residential applications. The second, expanded phase of this work is reported here.
