Title

Operational Experience With Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems.

Abstract

For the last six years, Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has conducted research on the operational performance, reliability and grid-connection issues of photovoltaic systems. A number of grid-connected photovoltaic systems have been designed, installed, operated and tested at FSEC during this period. These include the Photovoltaic House, three residential prototype systems, a flexible test facility and four flat-plate tracking systems. This paper presents two year (July 1984 through June 1986) operational performance data on the three residential prototype systems, including the photovoltaic arrays and power conditioning subsystems. In addition to the performance data, the operational reliability of the arrays (modules), power conditioners and balance of system (BOS) components is discussed.
