Abstract
Preliminary results on the design and performance of three multi-array grid connected PV systems on flat roofs are presented. From the results it can be concluded that inverters can at least be undersized to 65% of the PV peak power without any significant loss of energy production. These results confirm the findings from model calculations carried out as a part of the design process
