Abstract: Several measures to evaluate and assess the performance of photovoltaic installations have been conducted by BPP Teknologi. However, analysis on the installation, safety and reliability related to electrical failures on the photovoltaic power source is almost never discussed. As the number of large photovoltaic installations in Indonesia is growing and some significant failure modes on the existing systems are observed, therefore a reliability study should be taken. In this paper, one of the safety subsystem components and the grounding path recommended for photovoltaic systems is discussed. Furthermore, an analysis on the installed system failure modes and their possible causes is described. Some conclusions and recommendations for further photovoltaic installations in Indonesia based on the previous discussion and analysis are also presented.
