NABCEP PV ASSOCIATE EXAM 2024
A 12V light is left on for 13 hours at 1.5A with a 12V battery. How
much energy is used? - ANSWER- 0.234 kWh
12V * 1.5A * 13hr = 234 Wh
A 12V light is left on for 13 hours at 1.5A with a 12V battery, how
many Ah are used? - ANSWER- 19.5 Ah
1.5A * 13hrs
Electrical safety is best studied where? - ANSWER- OSHA website
The interconnection of a PV system is approved by? - ANSWER- The
utility
Grounding (bonding) of functionally grounded PV system on a roof
should be done to - ANSWER- Racking and frames should be grounded
on every PV system. Even ungrounded systems need equipment
grounding
2 | P a g e
Lowest grid voltage:
A) Transmission
B) Distribution
C) Service equipment
D) Generation - ANSWER- Service has the lowest voltage. Service
voltage is the voltage at the building where the electricity is served
If a 12 PV module has 36 cells, then how many volts in a 54 cell
module? - ANSWER- 18 Volts
12V/36 cells to find V/cell
V/cell * 54 cells = 18V
Transformers convert - ANSWER- High voltage Low current to low
Voltage high Current
Undersized PV array:
A) Decreases voltage drop
B) Decreases battery life
C) Increases current drop
D) Increases resistance - ANSWER- Decreased array size decreases
battery life (due to not charging battery fully) Not fully charging the
battery is not good for the battery
Bypass diodes:
A) Reduce current
3 | P a g e
B) Limit effects of shading
C) Are wired in series with groups of solar cells and prevent reverse
current
D) Are in the combiner box - ANSWER- Bypass diodes reduce effects
of shading and are wired in parallel in cells in the junction box on the
back of the PV module
Microinverters (and inverters) are connected between the ____ and the
_____ - ANSWER- between the PV and the service panel
A system that sits on a flat/low slope rooftop and has no penetrations is
called a:
A) Flush mounted system
B) Flashed system
C) BIPV system
D) Ballasted system - ANSWER- Ballasted systems are common flat
low slope roof systems that are not penetrating the roof. A ballast is
something that is relatively heavy keeps the PV from blowing away
Proper slope for an extension ladder? - ANSWER- 1:4
The primary source for a utility interactive PV system is the:
A) Inverter
B) Utility
C) PV
4 | P a g e
D) Charge controller - ANSWER- Utility. The interactive inverter will
match the voltage and frequency of the utility
What is specified on a charge controller?
A) Irradiance limit
B) Insolation limit
C) Maximum voltage
D) Minimum current - ANSWER- A charge controller will have
maximum voltage specified (and so will most any equipment). A charge
controller will also specify maximum current
Units for irradiance - ANSWER- Irradiance is power per area, usually
measured in watts per square meter. 1000W/m^2 is the irradiance level
called Peak sun, or irradiance at STC. Energy per area is irradiation or
insolation.
What is used to calculate maximum system voltage? - ANSWERTemperature is used to calculate maximum system voltage along with
Voc, the temperature coeffient of Voc and the number of PV modules
connected in series.
What will be increased by reflective surfaces (albedo)? - ANSWERCurrent. Reflections and increased light increases current.
What is the best voltage for charging a 12V lead-acid battery?
A) 12V
