US Coast Guard participation in the Federal Photovoltaic Utilization Program. Final technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5988550
The US Coast Guard began investigating solar photovoltaic arrays as power sources for marine aids to navigation in 1974. After several years of research and development effort the decision was made to convert the power systems of over 10,000 minor aids to navigation from expensive and environmentally hazardous primary batteries to solar power.
