Solar power plant 3kw

An on-grid solar power plant, or grid-tied system, is a solar energy system directly connected to the local electricity grid. It generates electricity for homes and businesses and allows excess power to be fed back into the grid, often earning energy credits through net metering programs. This system relies on solar panels, an inverter to convert DC to AC electricity, and the grid as a backup power source during cloudy days or at night. 


Technical Specification

 

1) System summary

  • System type: On-grid / grid-tie (no battery).

  • Rated DC array power: 3.0 kWp (3,000 Wp).

  • AC export nominal power: ~3.0 kW (depending on inverter selection).

  • Operating mode: Export to grid when generation > local load; import from grid when needed.


2) Typical components (Bill of Materials)

  1. PV modules — 8 × 375 W polycrystalline / mono-PERC / bifacial panels (example).

    • Alternative: 10 × 300 W modules (10×300 = 3,000 W).

    • Provide module datasheet for exact electrical values.

  2. String inverter (grid-tie) — 3.0 kW single-phase inverter with:

    • MPPT range suitable for selected string voltage

    • Euro/IEC/IS/UL certifications as required

    • Anti-islanding, reactive power control (if required by utility)

  3. PV mounting structure — Roof-mounted (tilt rails + clamps) or ground-mounted frame; galvanized steel or aluminium.

  4. DC isolator (switch) — rated ≥ inverter DC input voltage and current.

  5. AC isolator / AC breaker — at inverter AC output (for maintenance/disconnection).

  6. Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) — DC side (Type II) and AC side (Type II/III) per local standard.

  7. Earthing / grounding kit — copper earthing conductor, earth rod, equipotential bonding.

  8. DC cabling & connectors — UV-resistant PV cable, MC4 or compatible connectors.

  9. AC cabling & protections — suitably sized cable, MCB/MCCB, energy meter (bi-directional if required), RCD if mandated.

  10. Junction boxes / combiner (optional) — with fuses on strings if multiple strings.

  11. Monitoring — inverter with built-in monitoring (Wi-Fi/GSM/RS485) or separate monitoring gateway.

  12. Labels & warning signs — per electrical safety code and utility requirements.

  13. Installation hardware & accessories — zippers, cable ties, sealing, flashings for roof penetrations.
