AC disconnect is securely fastened and clean. The inverter is appropriately sited and secured, and it meets all of the manufacturer''s clearance requirements. Isolation transformer terminations are
Prior to commercial operation, large solar systems in utility-size power plants need to pass a performance acceptance test conducted by the EPC contractor or owners.
Procedures for isolating/disconnecting equipment and emergency shutdown procedures should also be provided. A maintenance plan and intervals should be provided for all routine (scheduled) system
