3 Structural guideline
The exact location of the 2 diagonal members in the truss bracing detail is not critical. Two (2) diagonal bracing
of 2x4's is to cross at least 5 trusses (roughly) at each end of the solar panel array. This configuration should be
adequate and shown in the following figure. Note that MTE’s plan is more detailed. If they are installed 4
feet to the left or the right it will still provide the bracing.
MTE’s post-installation review will provide a detailed report, including details of any damaged trusses.
Please refer to MTE structural engineer’s detailed drawing on structural guideline including re-enforcement
requirements.

4.3 Electrical Connections
The arrays were designed using ARISE F60 230 watt solar modules. The ARISE F60 panel measures
1665mm x 997mm x 46 mm. The string configuration is determined by the operating voltage range of
the chosen inverter. For this project, a Fronius 10.0-3 Delta 10kW inverter will be used, making 5
strings of 10 modules the preferred string configuration. Figure 3 below shows 5 section in 5 different
colors (yellow, pink, green, purple, and red). Each section represents 1 string configuration of 10
modules in each section/string. Note that two (2) dummy panels will go on the top west side of the
array as shown below.

5 Monitoring System
The Fronius Datalogger is the link between inverters and the PC. Here data are collected and made
available for processing (e.g. via Fronius Solar.access software).
The Datalogger is Web 2 to connect to the inverter using the plug & play principle. Available as a card
or box, it saves every system detail over a period of up to 3 years. The Datalogger can also be used for
remote monitoring when used in combination with a modem. The Fronius Datalogger Web 2 is well-
suited for systems with one inverter. Systems with several inverters require the Fronius Datalogger
pro.
Datalogger will be installed in the electrical room close to the inverter. Desired length of Ethernet
cable can be used to reach computer. See “FroniusDatcomSensorsEnglish” manual for details on
connections.

5.1.1 Sensors
The integration of sensors into a PV system enables you to record additional measured data such as
irradiance or ambient temperature, as well as set up your own weather station.
5.1.2 Sensors Installation
The following sensors will be connected to the Sensor Box. The sensor cables will be extended using
standard communication cable of the same gauge size. Note that the total length of the cable should
not exceed 20m (65.6 ft). See “FroniusDatcomSensorsEnglish” manual for more details on
connections and input terminals.
• Irradiance (Setup and installation example)
• Measurement of solar radiation at the solar modules using an irradiance
• Sensor at the analog input (17).
• Mounting tip: This sensor is for measuring the irradiated energy and is in most cases fixed on
the frame of the solar module. The sensor comes fixed onto an aluminum profile with an 8
mm hole to ease attachment to the module frame. Please make sure, that the sensor does
not cast any shadow on the module.
• Connect irradiance sensor to the analog input (17)
• Activate the analog input (17) via the „Solar.access“ software
• Assign desired channel name (e.g. „Solar Radiation“)
• Set measuring range
• Enter conversion factor
• NOTE The length of the sensor cable should not exceed 30 m (65.6 ft) so that measurement
results are not distorted

• ambient temperature (Setup and installation example)
• Temperature measurement at solar modules using PT1000 temperature
• Sensor at connection T1 (15).
• Mounting tip: Due to its large temperature range the ambient temperature sensor is suited
for measuring outside temperature as well as room temperature. For this sensor, there is no
special instruction. The ambient temperature sensor can simply be placed under the pv-
modules.
• Connect PT1000 temperature sensor to T1
• Activate channel T1 (15) via the „Solar.access“ software
• Assign desired channel name (e.g. „Module Temperature“)
• Select unit (°C / °F)
• NOTE The length of the sensor cable should not exceed 20 m (65.6 ft) so that measurement
results are not distorted.
Figure 10 Ambient temperature
• module temperature (Setup and installation example)
• Temperature measurement at solar modules using PT1000 temperature
• Sensor at connection T1 (16).
• Mounting tip: In general this sensor measures the temperature on surfaces. By fixing the
sensor on the back side of the pv-module, the module temperature can be read.The
temperature of the pv-module is one of the decisive factors for the power output. The pv-
owner can draw conclusions of the performance by consistently monitoring the module
temperature. It is recommended to fix the sensor and the cable with an additional adhesive
tape.
• Connect PT1000 temperature sensor to T1
• Activate channel T1 (16) via the „Solar.access“ software

5.1.3 Fronius Sensor Box
It is possible to install various sensors into the Fronius DATCOM system. These permit an in-depth
look into the way the PV system works and make it possible to draw informed conclusions about the
overall performance.
As usual, this option is available either as a plug-in card or as a box. Plug-in cards are recommended
for a maximum distance of 65 - 100ft between the inverter and sensor(s). Larger distances can be
bridged using the box. For this reason box will be used regardless of what the distance might be to
ensure no distortion in the signal. Note: The sensor box might not get installed on the same week of
system installation due to lead time issue from the supplier.
5.1.4 Sensor Box Installation
Sensor Box will be installed in the attic in order to keep communication wire length as short as possible. From
the attic an Ethernet cable will run from the sensor box to the datalogger in the electrical room. For more
information on setup details please refer to one of the manuals.

36. The first complete inverter solution.
Reliable. Proven. Smart.
An outstanding addition to the family: The next generation
Fronius IG Plus inverter builds on a successful model with
multiple enhancements, including maximum power harvest,
a built-in six circuit string combiner, integrated, lockable DC
Disconnect, significantly improved efficiency, and unbeatable
reliability. New, larger power stages expand the proven
Fronius IG family from 2 to 12 kW in a single inverter.
Maximum energy harvest –
cloudy or clear
Highest Reliability
The Fronius development team has tested every detail of the
design, ensuring that the Fronius IG Plus line of inverters will
provide exceptional performance under all conditions.
Smart Ventilation Design. Disruptive ambient factors such
as biological infestations, dust, moisture, or coastal salt air
stay outside the new Fronius IG Plus Inverters away from the
circuitry. How: Cool air is drawn in through a filter screen on
the back of the inverter and routed through a closed channel
over the heat sink. This prevents contact between outside air
Maximum Earnings Security
Get the most power out of every ray of sunlight. This is
achieved through a complex interaction of different factors:
Three efficiency peaks. Greater power harvest for every
system size: The unique automatic transformer switching
function of the Fronius IG Plus enables not one, but three
equal efficiency peaks. The result: Consistently high
efficiency over a wide input voltage range. In comparison:
The efficiency of inverters without transformer switching
declines steadily with an increasing input voltage.

MIX™ Concept. Get the maximum power harvest out of
partial load ranges, e.g. on cloudy days, through a clever
combination of multiple power stages in each inverter.
The power stages in Fronius inverters divide up the work
depending on operating hours and only operate as many
power stages as required to efficiently process available
power from the PV array.
Module Manager™. The Module Manager™ keeps all
Fronius IG Inverters at the maximum power point (MPP)
with fast and exact MPP tracking, ensuring that you get the
most power out of each ray of sunlight. This is especially
important for amorphous modules whose MPP can be more
challenging to track.
Market Leader. With a 96.2 % peak efficiency, the Fronius
IG Plus inverter has the highest efficiency among high
frequency inverters.
and the circuit boards while cooling the inverter components
ensuring the inverter operates consistently. All circuit boards
are also dipped in Conformal coating to provide an added
measure of protection.
Failsafe. You can rely on Fronius inverters. In the rare
event that a power stage fails, the others will continue to
operate. Once the replacement power stage is delivered, it
can be quickly and easily replaced by a service technician,
without having to dismantle the entire inverter. The wiring
box, including all cabling, configurations and data (such
as kWh production) remains on the wall, while your service
technician removes two screws, exchanges the power
module, and within five minutes the inverter is repaired.
Longlasting Durability. The MIX™ concept increases the
lifespan of the inverter. While several power stages divide
up the operating hours, the new ventilation design keeps
them cool, improving efficiency and lifespan. To ensure
unsurpassed performance and long life, Fronius only uses
the highest quality name brand components available in this
new generation of inverters.
The first universal inverter
Versatility as a basic principle: The Fronius IG Plus works well
with all PV modules and is suitable for all system sizes.
Compatible with all module configurations. The Fronius
IG Plus works optimally with all module types, including
amorphous modules. The Fronius IG Plus works well with
all module types because of its wide input voltage range,
galvanic isolation, field programmable grounding option, and
its precise MPP tracking feature.
Grounding selectable on site. Decide on site what type
of grounding is required as the Fronius IG Plus is field
programmable for either positive or negative module
grounding.
Designed for indoor and outdoor installations. All Fronius
IG Plus inverters have a robust, well-designed aluminum
housing. UV-resistance and corrosion-protection enable
them to be used either indoors or outdoors. Fronius is proud
to be one of the only inverters tested and approved to
operate at 55ºC.
Field programmable AC output voltage. The Fronius
IG Plus inverter line from 3.0 to 11.4 kW is field programmable
to 208, 240 or 277 volts (Fronius IG Plus 12.0 kW only
available in 277 volts), eliminating the need to install different
inverter models to accommodate three-phase installations.
Universal product design. The functional principle is
identical in the entire Fronius IG Plus inverter family. This
means that if you are familiar with any of the Fronius IG Plus
inverters, you can also operate and service all other inverters.
Integrated DC disconnect. No external DC disconnect
installation or cabling is necessary. The Fronius IG Plus
comes complete with an approved, built-in, lockable and
load breakable DC Disconnect.
The new power plug system. The connection area and
power stages are installed separately from each other.
Very easy, and extremely safe: The connection area is
attached to the wall as normal. Then the power stage is
simply plugged in. The power plug connects both parts
into one secure unit. If service is required, the connection
area remains on the wall, maintaining all settings and
configurations.
