RELIABLE COST EFFECTIVE PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) SYSTEMS SYSTEM APPROACH WITH ONE-SOURCE RESPONSIBILITY

摘要

In order to provide a reliable, cost-effective electrical power source a system approach with a one source responsibility is imperative to compose a well matched PV system.rnState of the art application technology and product compatibility are requisites to assure users of PV systems of one of its major advantages: Low life cycle costs.rnThe battery having the shortest lifetime of the parts of a PV system,rnhas a big impact o the life cycle costs.rnNext to the description of the recommended approach to compose a well matched PV system, the paper calls special attention to the performance and ageing of batteries in a PV system.
