Since 1979 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory has been developing and testing residential-size photovoltaic power systems for the U.S. Department of Energy. Lessons learned from this experience, and performance summaries for the five prototype systems at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station (in Concord, Massachusetts) and the system at the all-electric Carlisle PV house, are given. Results of evaluating five utility-interactive residential-size inverters also are reported.
