Over the last few years, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has sponsored the installation of nearly 2 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaics (PV). Approximately 1.7 MW has been for systems at test or training ranges with an additional 300 kW for small applications. The emphasis of this paper is on those larger systems which range in size from 80 to 450 kilowatts (kW). Most of them are PV-diesel hybrid systems, while one (at the Army Yuma Proving Grounds) is a grid interactive project. A summary of the equipment and initial results from the new power processing test facility at Sandia National Laboratories is also provided.
