6. If a proposed PV installation site has an unobstructed south-facing roof area of 60 m2
, and if thin-film modules with six
watts-per-square-foot power output at STC are to be installed on 50% of the roof, then the maximum available PV
array output power (based on the sum of module ratings) at STC will be closest to

A typical 4-kW crystalline silicon array is operating at STC in a utility-interactive system with battery backup. The STC maximum power voltage rating of the PV array is 68.4 volts. The system uses a MPT charge controller that has 5% losses. Wiring losses are 3% and inverter losses are 5%. If the batteries are at full charge at a voltage of 52 V, and if all PV output is delivered to the grid (assume that no power is being used to hold the batteries at 52 volts), the inverter output power will be closest to a. 1261 watts b. 2207 watts c. 2522 watts d. 3152 watts

A PV system is to be selected for operating a PV water pumping system. The pump will require 300 W of PV modules
for proper operation. A 12 -Vdc model and a 48-Vdc model are available. If both pumps operate at the same power
level, the resistance of the wire to the 48-V pump, compared to the resistance of the wire to the 12-V pump, assuming
the same percentage voltage drop in the wiring, may be
