A workshop was held at the California Institute of Technology on February 12-13, 1980 to discuss factors which would impact the implementation of a Photovoltaic Residential Applications Program. Sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), this workshop brought together twenty-six individuals from private industry, universities, national laboratories, and the Department of Energy (DOE). The workshop consisted of four sessions composed of brief presentations by participants and moderated discussions. The first session was an introduction to the Photovoltaics Program as a context for the Residential Applications Program. The second session discussed the Solar Heating and Cooling Demonstration program and the structure and operation of the residential market. The third session studied the factors to be considered in the design of non-hardware experiments. The fourth session consisted of a working forum in which the ideas and suggestions from the previous sessions were summarized and synthesized. The agenda for the Photovoltaic Residential Application Program Implementation Workshop (Appendix A) shows how the workshop was broken down into the various presentations and topics discussed. Copies of the conference viewgraphs (Appendix B) provide further detail on the presentations. Remarks from attendees (Appendix C) are included with suggestions stimulated from the workshop. A bibliography (Appendix D) indicates the amount of information available on issues relevant to the program. It is no way inclusive nor does it indicate a higher value of those documents over those not included. Preconference communications and a list of attendees (Appendix E) are also included.
