The SP SOL-Park solar
carport design,
as developed by Sacred Power
Corporation, consists of 20 125 watt photovoltaic
modules and 1-SMA America 2.5 KW inverter along with all of the
appropriate disconnects, safety switches and combiner boxes per section.
System Description
Each
section can accommodate up to 2 full size vehicles. Sections are then
ganged to produce the amount of required and/or the amount of shading
desired. Depending on parking lot orientation, the mounting structure
could be in a fixed position for East-West axis parking lots, or a
tracking position which is utilized for North-South parking lot
orientation.
The benefit of utilizing our
sectional carport design
is threefold;
-
One, as
mentioned each
manufactured section is standardized and easily multiplied to achieve
the carport configuration desired.
-
Two,
smaller PV/Inverter
segments add to reliability-one of several
string inverters failing is not as critical as a single primary
inverter failing.
-
Three,
trouble shooting and maintenance is simplified with the use of a
systems control that constantly monitors up to 150 sections (150
Inverters!) at any given moment.

In
addition, ground mounted structures such as the SP SOL-Park™ are exempt
form additional NEC Requirements of additional sophisticated ground
fault equipment. This lessons the complexity as well as the cost of the
installed systems.
SP SOL-Park™ (2.5kW) each section
consists of the
following:
-
20 - 125 watt Photovoltaic
Modules
-
SunnyBoy 2.5kW, 240 1-pahse
Inverter with
performance monitoring display
-
AC & DC Disconnects Fuses
-
10 Pole Combiner box
Structural Design of the Carport
Compared
to a fixed array type carport, the SP SOL-Park™ has the ability for
single axis tracking. The result is an average of 25% more power each
day. That's more energy available within the building or for sale to
the local utility. Technical data requests for the SP SOL Park™ can be
made directly to your SPC representative.
