Presentation Overview Technology review Questions to consider Precise load information what we need to know Standard product line solutions Site installation photos Thank you for coming. Please contact me with any questions. Charlie Bachman, Oil & Gas Industry Sales Manager

3 How Photovoltaic (PV) Works External Circuit Sunlight [photons] Load Electricity Basic Solar Cell Construction Top electrical contact P-Type material [boron-doped silicon] P/N Junction N-Type material [Phosphorous-doped silicon] Base Contact 2

4 Basic PV system configuration + PWM Regulation LVD Load Management PV Array + Load Battery 3

5 Integrated PV System Solar modules resist harsh weather conditions Corrosion resistant control/battery enclosure NEC code compliant overcurrent protection and safety disconnect Rainproof, passive airflow cooling with filtered vents Universal anti-theft mounting hardware available Sealed, lead-acid battery designed for deep discharge cycling Solid state electronics display battery state-of-charge and controller status/errors Fuse block Optional SOV lightning surge protection for PV input 4

6 Power Supply Choices Utility Power cost to extend grid $10K or more per mile Generator Sets operation expenses Wind resource highly variable & site specific Thermal Electric Generator maintenance issues Fuel Cell refueling issues 5

7 Power Supply Choices SOLAR ELECTRIC: Reliable, continuous power Cost-effective Low operating and maintenance costs 6

8 When does a PV system make sense? 7

9 PV system design objective Size the PV system for high reliability performance under all anticipated load and environmental conditions. #1 Consideration is load! 8

10 PV System Sizing Method PV Array = [L x 1.11 / 0.9 / WCSR / Imp] x [V/12] {A} {B} Where: L = equipment load in amp-hours/day Array to Load Ratio = 1.11 Losses = 10% WCSR = worst-case solar radiation in kwh/m*2/day Imp = Peak current rating of the PV module V = Nominal system voltage A = No of PV modules in parallel, B = No. of PV modules in series 9

11 PV System Sizing Method Battery = [L x 5 / 0.8 / T] x [V/12] {A} {B} Where: L = equipment load in amp-hours/day 5 = Number of days autonomy required for 99.95% power availability 0.80 = Capacity derate to account for a low voltage load disconnect function at 20% state of charge T = Temperature derate factor for lowest average monthly temperature V = Nominal system voltage 12 = Standard battery voltage A = Battery amp hour rating at 12V B = Number of batteries in series 10

12 PV System design objective? PV ARRAY POWER [Wp] INCREASING A 1 B 1 B 2 LOLP BATTERY CAPACITY [Ah] INCREASING 11
