Design and fabrication of a prototype system for a photovoltaic residence in the Northeast
This project consisted of the design, fabrication, and testing of a photovoltaic residence which is suitable for construction in the Northeast. A full-size residence was designed which included energy-conserving and passive features, and the energy performance of the residence was completed for a 5-kW PV array in a standoff configuration. Actual construction consisted of the roof structure and a building enclosure large enough to contain the PCU, test equipment, and load-simulation equipment. The PV array consists of 78 modules along with a line tie inverter.
