Southern Research Institute completed a facility to study solar PV systems. The facility, the Southeastern Solar Research Center (SSRC), will house numerous research efforts beginning with an EPRI project focused on solar PV system orientation, tracking and aging.
Enphase Energy completed a 125-building distributed solar project developed by Main Street Power that uses Enphase microinverters. The project was spread across 29 schools and two facilities buildings throughout the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), with individual system designs varying in size and orientation. Enphase microinverters allowed Main Street Power and the San Diego Unified School District to rely on one type of inverter technology to support 3.1MW of arrays and more than 125 different systems designed using different angles, orientations and sizes.
