Physical performance data obtained from the photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Southwest Residential Experiment Station are tabulated for the month of April 1982. Eight prototype residential photovoltaic systems are under test, each consisting of a roof-mounted photovoltaic array sized to meet at least 50% of the annual electric demand of an energy-conserving house, and an enclosed structure to house the remainder of the photovoltaic equipment, test instrumentation, and work space. Each prototype system is grid connected. A brief monthly summary gives meteorological information, monitored house information for each house, and information on the photovoltaic array, power conditioning system, and energy flow between the photovoltaic system and utility for each prototype system. Hourly tabulations are provided for an average day of the month of electric energy used by each house, array and inverter output, load imposed on the prototype, energy supplied to and by the utility, maximum inverter AC power, total tilt insolation, and hypothetical energy flows to and from the utility if each prototype system were serving each monitored house. Daily inverter outputs are graphed for each prototype system. (LEW)
