Optimizing PV Systems July 2014 - Part 1: Inverters | Page 9

Advanced Energy Case Study:
Clyo, Georgia
The 23 KW AE 3TL was chosen because the inverter
could be mounted to the posts under the solar modules
without any additional support structure.

The 33 inverters are connected to the Internet via a cell
modem which reports to Advanced Energy’s free data
monitoring site called AE SiteLink (formerly known as
REFUlog).
SiteLink monitoring solution offers a comprehensive suite of
tools for system owners, installers, and financiers to
monitor and maintain their PV assets and mazimize ROI.
SiteLink is a free service available for all 3TL projects.

Clyo, Georgia

1 MW DC, 765.6 KW AC

Inverters:

33 of the AE 23.3 KW 3TL-1kV

This site has no concrete pads for equipment other than the
Medium Voltage transformer. All of the power is sold back
to Georgia Power under their Advanced Solar Initiative
(ASI).
The site utilized two different wattage modules from
Renesola. By using the AE 3TL the 300W and 305W
modules were connected to separate inverters to maximize
energy output. Filling in with the 24KW of the 300W
modules also allowed the site to maximize the 1 MW DC
capacity under the Georgia Power ASI Program.
