FAQS 4

Why do solar panels need Transformers?

Transformers also help in isolating the solar energy system from the grid, providing safety and stability to the overall power network. Transformers are essential in the power conversion process of solar energy systems. They ensure that the electricity generated by solar panels can be transformed into a usable form for end-users.

What are the benefits of using transformers in solar energy systems?

One of the main benefits of using transformers in solar energy systems is the improved efficiency in power transmission and distribution. By stepping up the voltage, transformers reduce power losses, ensuring that more of the generated electricity reaches the end-users. Transformers also enhance the safety and reliability of solar energy systems.

Do solar transformers need to be sized correctly?

Integrating renewable energy sources like solar introduces unique challenges for transformers. The cyclical nature of the source can lead to overheating, power quality issues, and overloading. This means it’s critical to size your transformer appropriately for your solar system.

Who should choose a transformer for a solar-plus-storage system?

Designers, developers, and EPCs should always consult their relevant local and national electrical codes, the AHJ, and the transformer manufacturer when making any final specification decisions on a given project. In future articles, our SMEs will dig deeper to tackle transformer selection for more involved solar-plus-storage system designs.
