Fiber is more than capable of supporting the small volume of data transfers at these “solar farms.” A variety of devices are served by a solar installation''s network. Inverters convert the DC power from the photovoltaic (PV) panels to the AC power required by the utility grid. Monitoring the inverters’ health and performance is critical.
Fiber can easily cover the distances involved with solar power systems that stretch across several square miles. Fiber is more reliable than the wireless communications used in residential and small commercial solar installations.
An optical-fiber network is useful for this purpose for the prime reasons of low loss/long reach as well as immunity to electrical interference, ground loops and lightning. 1 Megawatt of output requires 4,000 to 8,000 solar panels, with a surface area of 8,000 m2.
Optical-fiber cabling continues to be deployed, and is operating reliably, in many utility-scale solar arrays all over the world. :: Martyn Easton is global marketing manager with Corning Cable Systems ().
