Finding Balance: The Role of Balance of System in Delivering More Efficient and Cost-Effective PV Installations
Balance of Systems (BOS) typically encompasses everything but the solar panel module itself: inverters, racking and trackers, cable management, batteries, and storage, even software and labor costs. Underlying and tying together all these systems is a solar plant’s physical and electrical infrastructure. While there is plenty of room for individual improvements in solar infrastructure, examining BOS, as a whole, can help uncover opportunities. |
Physical and electrical infrastructure connects and underpins the entirety of any solar installation and is an ideal lens through which to approach BOS.
Learn how to deliver a more efficient and cost-effective PV installation in this new problem-solving white paper from Panduit.
