Hell RE-Wrenches -
Do any of you have experience with locating ground-mounted PV systems under
high-voltage transmission lines? We have an electric utility client who
would like to use some of its land underneath its HV transmission lines to
install PV. Is the shadow cast be the overhead wires
We have both GT and off grid in the shadow lines, because of the distance
away, diameter of the wire and also the sun have not seen any issues that
will warrent micro inverters. All that said, its a moving target and if the
wires are very close then it will be more of an issue.
Something else to po
I'd be more worried about induced current/voltage on metal/conductors in
the PV array, which seems like it could cause issues with GFP devices, and
possibly unsafe conditions. I worked on one large array (5 MW) where the
point of interconnection was parallel to / under high voltage lines. Even

Just so l understand you had current not voltage where was the current
flowing to.
I have had static voltage from HV transmission lines but not induced
current while the system was off.

Hey Jerry,
If I remember correctly - it was about five years ago - it was a little
complicated because the utility was doing the witness test where they pull
one phase and leave the other two connected, then test that there is no
current on any phase (because the inverters should shut off when on
