The footprint for the array itself will be approximately 32,522 square feet with periodic gaps between rows and a 20-foot perimeter between the outer edges of the array and the edge of the roof area. tenKsolar, Inc. is headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota USA and has been selling its new generation of solar technology since 2008. At the core of this technology is the proprietary RAIS-WAVE module architecture (Redundant Array of Integrating Solar), in which cells in each module are interconnected redundantly in mesh rather than series. When combined with a unique digital control algorithm and embedded low-voltage redundant electronics that were also developed by tenK, the module eliminates nearly all of the serial constraints found in other solar modules. To extend this redundancy from the modules to the grid, and take full advantage of the proprietary control methods in the module, a simplified conversion process is used to create grid-quality alternating current (AC). A proprietary stepped-pulse transformer (SPT) technology uses a simplified set of automotive-grade, low-voltage electronics to step-pulse the energy into a solid-state transformer. Unlike conventional inverters, no active electronics are exposed to grid-level voltages, improving up-time performance and reducing operating and maintenance costs. The technology also uses fully embedded, anti-islanding controls that have been third- party validated and certified for U.S. and many international solar markets. Because of the controls residing in its electronics, tenK is able to interconnect SPTs in parallel, allowing the AC conversion process to operate redundantly. If one fails, the energy that would normally be lost is able to flow to another SPT. At times of low solar radiation, a reduced number of SPTs still operate, improving overall system efficiency. As a result, each tenK solar installation delivers full, 480-volt AC grid-quality power directly from the array. Within the array, the maximum voltage of any DC component is 60 V, compared to conventional arrays at 600-1000 V, and each module has full, built-in ground-fault and arc-fault protection. The modules are intelligent, and can sense an active connection. In case of a fire, de-activating the system from the grid anywhere on the AC side causes the modules to stop internally, avoiding safety issues for firefighters and first-responders. These same safety and embedded assembly features also simplify the installation process. The RAIS-WAVE module control technology and stepped-pulse transformer technology are ideal configurations for integrating energy storage directly into the system without additional electronics or infrastructure. And due to its phasing controls, the system can also be used to actively balance phases. Beyond the improvements in reliability from eliminating all single points of failure and the high- voltage active electrical components in conventional solar arrays, tenKsolar panels take advantage of cell independence within the module to add illumination from static reflection. A proprietary spectroscopic reflector-based racking system developed by tenK and 3M gathers additional light from the unused gaps in typical solar arrays to increase energy delivered by the system. This results in a much higher level of energy density for the system as a whole. With its low-voltage systems design and integration, tenK is able to manufacture and sell its product at competitive pricing. The non-reflected efficiency of a tenK system is at or above
