Design and fabrication of a prototype system for photovoltaic residences in the southwest
Abstract
The design, fabrication, and maintenance of a prototype residential photovoltaic (PV) power system installed and operated at the Southwest Residential Station in Las Cruces, New Mexico is reported. The program identifies and resolves engineering problems that result from the widespread use of residential PV systems. The tasks accomplished are documented and overall system design and performance are evaluated.
