Selecting PV modules needed uses the

Adjusted Array Rated Power calculated in
Step 7 and Array Rated Voltage found in Step 8.
First, divide Array Rated Voltage by Module
Rated Voltage to find number of modules in
series, (round up). Then divide Adjusted Array
Rated Power by the number of modules in
series to find Module Rated Power.
Example: Adjusted Array Rated Power = 1760 W,
Array Rated Voltage = 323VDC, Modules in
inventory 17.0VDC each. Divide 323 by 17.0 =
19 modules in series. Divide 1760W by 19
modules = 93W. Use 90 or 100 W modules.

HEAD

Go across table from the selected TDH to the

Gallons/Day that is nearest to the desired
Gallons/Day.
Under the selected Gallons/Day is the pump
model and system data. The GPM Peak is the
flow rate of system at solar noon. The Min. Hz
Setting is used in setting up the USPC, (this
eliminates unnecessary pump
operation when power is too low for flow).
The Max. Speed is the maximum speed the
pump reaches at solar noon.
