#13. Suppose you wanted to build a Solar Voltaic farm in Texas, and you wanted to connect it to the grid (150kV) 150 miles away. Assuming the following, what would be the overall efficiency in connecting to the grid? Location of the solar farm is Nolan, Texas Size of each solar panel 2m2 # of panels : 300 Efficiency of the panel-20% Voltage output of each panel-60V (full sun) Current output of each panel- 10A (full sun) -DC-AC inverter efficiency-94% -Step up Transformer efficiency from DC-AC inverter output to high voltage output : 97% From 120 Volts to 100kV stepping voltage o -Losses in all wiring connections is 8% overall
