Westinghouse final report: design and fabrication of a prototype system for photovoltaic residences in the Southwest
A single-family residence including a solar photovoltaic (PV) power system was designed for the Southwest. The residence utilizes passive solar and energy-conservation techniques to minimize the annual electrical load. A Prototype of the electrical system was constructed at the Southwest Residential Experiment Station in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and maintained for one year. The array is integrally mounted using a new panel installation concept and produces 5.7-kilowatts peak at standard test conditions (100 milliwatts per square centimeter, 28-degrees Celsius, with an air mass of 1.5). The system is interactive with the utility and uses a voltage-fed, self-commutated power conditioner. The system operates automatically, turning on and off as the sun rises and sets.
