Design and fabrication of a prototype system for photovoltaic residences in the Northeast. Final report
A single-family residence including a solar photovoltaic power system was designed for the Northeast. 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 Northeast Residential Experiment Station and maintained for one year. The array is integrally mounted using a new panel installation concept, and produces 5.7-kW peak at Standard Test Conditions (100 mW/cm/sup 2/, 28/sup 0/C, AM 1.5). The system is interactive with the utility and uses a voltage-fed, self-commutated power conditioner. The system operates automatically training on and off as the sun rises and sets.
