Title

First year performance of a 15 KwP amorphous silicon photovoltaic system

Abstract

A 15 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic system was installed at one of Florida Power Corporation's substations. The system is appropriately named Solar Progress, since state-of-the-art technology thin-film amorphous silicon modules are used. Solar Progress is the largest photovoltaic system in Florida and the third largest grid-connected amorphous silicon photovoltaic system in the country. The system's performance has been monitored for the first year of operation. During this period, the power output of the photovoltaic array has degraded by about 16 percent of its initial value. After nearly a year of exposure, the array peak power efficiency is 4.5 percent. © 1990 IEEE
