Prototype residential photovoltaic-systems evaluation plans
Abstract
A sequence of tests is identified to assess the reliability and safety of residential photovoltaics systems. In addition, a standard means of characterizing a PV system in terms of its power and energy performance is presented. At present, these tests and characterization procedures are being applied to prototype residential systems under evaluation.
