Design Considerations
Failing to plan is planning to fail. Although the myPV ClearSky™ Interconnection is very
simple to design for and incorporate into your project design, there are aspects of the
equipment that should be considered in the initial design to avoid unnecessary costs
and difficulties during construction.
Installation Location
The myPV ClearSky’s low profile and compact design provides Developers and
Engineers and unprecedented level of flexibility regarding installation location. While
many Customers choose to incorporate the padmount gear into the equipment pad
closest to the point of interconnection, others choose to locate the myPV ClearSky at
the Point of Interconnection (POI).
If you have concerns about the location of the myPV ClearSky’s metering and the POI,
we recommend one of the following 2 approaches:
Determine the voltage drop of the interconnection run [ Southwire - Voltage Drop
Calculator]
Consider using the meter’s Transformer/Line-Loss Compensation features [SEL-
