The US Environmental Protection Agency and 21 electric power companies in the US are conducting two nationwide Photovoltaic (PV) Demand-Side Management (DSM) projects. Ascension Technology (AT) is responsible for system design, balance-of-systems equipment design and fabrication, installation supervision, field instrumentation, and data acquisition, monitoring and evaluation. The principal goal of the two projects is to investigate the environmental and demand-side-management (DSM) benefits of distributed, grid-tied PV systems as pollution mitigating energy replacements for fossil fuels. In 1993--4, 11 electric utilities installed PV systems on homes, schools, hospitals, office and light commercial buildings. In 1994--5, 12 electric utilities are installing PV systems on larger commercial, educational and industrial building roof-tops.
