Transformer Configuration for PV and Energy Storage Projects

April 24, 2024

Transformers play a crucial role in grid-direct PV and energy storage projects for C&I behind-the-meter systems. As the industry continues to evolve, the need for transformers to pair the PV or ESS inverter voltage to existing points of interconnection becomes paramount, especially when dealing with the common scenario of current 480V inverters tying into existing 208V services.

In this Ask Mayfield Anything, Ryan Mayfield was joined by Jeff Somerville, Director of Technical Solutions Group at Hammond Power Solutions, and Medina Maric, Director of Power Systems Engineering at Dynapower. The panel delved into the complex world of transformer selection and proper configuration, considering specific site and use case requirements. And provided insights into selecting the appropriate Delta or Wye transformer and facing the inverter appropriately. Moreover, they examined the primary and secondary sides of the inverter and discussed best practices for PV-only and ESS projects.

For many, selecting and configuring transformers can raise a lot of questions. Watch our full webinar to learn valuable guidance for optimizing installations for maximum efficiency and performance.
