Does proficad support photovoltaic circuit diagrams?

ProfiCAD supports the drawing of photovoltaic circuit diagrams. In addition to the common electrical engineering symbols, the library includes symbols such as solar cells, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, inverters, etc. Should you need more symbols, you can create them in the symbol editor. Some sample drawings (click for full size):

Do I need to meter a photovoltaic system?

It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mounting system, the most common in the industry today, will be installed by the homeowner. While metering the system is encouraged, the specification does not address system wiring elements for associated system sensors or monitoring equipment.

How much space does a photovoltaic system need?

Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules. The design of a photovoltaic system, from the public operator’s network to the photovoltaic modules, requires careful planning and compliance with local regulations.

What are photovoltaic panels & how do they work?

They are designed for builders constructing single family homes with pitched roofs, which offer adequate access to the attic after construction. It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mounting system, the most common in the industry today, will be installed by the homeowner.

How much space does a photovoltaic module occupy?

Photovoltaic modules installed on a sloping roof or facade occupy an area of approximately 8 m2/kWp. Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules.
