Data report for the Southwest Residential Experiment Station, February 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5249571
Tabulated are physical performance data obtained from the photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Southwest Residential Experiment Station (SW RES) in Las Cruces, New Mexico for the month of February 1982. A one-page data summary is included as well as a more detailed hourly tabulation for an average day of the month. Energy histograms are provided for each prototype system. The histograms also present horizontal and plane-of-array insolation data as well as comments that explain data and/or energy production anomalies. Eight prototype residential PV systems are under test, each consisting of a roof-mounted PV array sized to meet at least 50% of the annual electric demand of an energy-conserving house, and an enclosed structure to house the remainder of the PV system equipment, test instrumentation, and work space. All systems are grid-connected. (LEW)
