Physical performance data for the month of February 1982 obtained from photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station in Concord, Massachusetts are tabulated. Five prototype residential photovoltaic systems are under test, each of which consist of a roof-mounted photovoltaic array sized to meet at least 50% of the annual electrical demand of an energy-conserving house, and an enclosed structure to house the remainder of the photovoltaic system equipment, test instrumentation, and work space. In addition, one full-sized photovoltaic residence, the Carlisle House, is also being monitored. A monthly summary presents a tabulation summarizing the monthly performance of the photovoltaic systems and monitored houses, as well as meteorological data. Then, an hour-by-hour tabulation of information is given for an average day of the month, including monitored house and prototype systems data. Also included is a table that presents the hypothetical energy exchange if each prototype system supplied energy to each monitored house. The same data are then presented graphically, along with load duration curves which illustrate the duration of time for which the load had a specific value. (LEW)
