Hawaii Natural Energy Institute report on three innovative photovoltaic applications for residences experiments
Abstract
A research program to install utility-backed photovoltaic (PV) power systems in three lived-in residences in Hawaii is discussed. Solutions to problems related to PV installation were developed, system performance in real world situations was demonstrated, and penetration of PV to the utilities was analyzed. The PV systems and their installation are described as well as the data collection systems used to monitor performance. The project is evaluated and costs are summarized.
