Fraunhofer CSE - Plug and Play PV 2016 -
Fraunhofer CSE and its partners from industry, utilities, universities and government have developed Plug and Play PV systems that are fast, easy, and safe to install, thereby reducing the cost of residential solar systems dramatically.
Plug and Play PV systems run extensive self-tests and are easy to inspect for safety, making it straightforward for the local inspector to ensure code compliance.
Installed Plug and Play PV systems can transmit key information to local jurisdictions and utilities to take care of all the approvals needed to permit, inspect, and interconnect the system.
With Plug and Play PV, the time it takes to install residential solar can go from as much as 180 days down to as little as 1 day.
