Toronto, Canada Area

During my co-op placement with Wallwin Electric, I spent my days with a crew of Electricians and apprentices, installing solar panels on top of 3 Canadian Tires in the Greater Toronto Area. Installation included mechanically connecting the panels to rails, and placing the rails on footing tracks. Following a connection diagram and connecting the panels together in strings, and to combiner boxes. Installation of an Inverter and safety disconnect switches. Final testing and verification of connected panels, and bringing the system into service and connected to the grid.I also learned the importance of Solar Studies, and the efficient placement of the panels to maximize their exposure to sunlight which in turn allows them to capture as much light as possible during. This is an important step in the planning of solar panel placement, as a shadow cast across one panel in a string will cause the entire string to no longer generate power. As such considerations must be made regarding taller buildings and trees in the area, as well as structures currently present on the roof top, such as HVAC equipment.
