Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6442356· OSTI ID:6442356
This project consisted of the design of an energy-efficient, photovoltaic, single-family residence suitable for construction in the Southwest and the fabrication and testing of a Prototype System based on that residence design. The Prototype, constructed at the Southwest Residential Experiment Station in Las Cruces, New Mexico, contains the power conditioning unit, test equipment, and load simulation equipment. The standoff photovoltaic array, consisting of 78 Solarex Powerline series modules, produces 5-kilowatts peak. The photovoltaic system is connected to the utility.
