Performance data are given for a photovoltaic power supply at a Texas electric utility for the months of September and October 1981. The monthly and daily total electrical energy yield, monthly and daily total solar radiation incident, and the monthly and daily efficiency of the photovoltaic array are given. The energy production is graphed as a function of power level, voltage, cell temperature, and hour of the day. The daily system availability is graphed. The monthly and hourly insolation, monthly and hourly ambient temperature, and monthly and hourly wind speed are given, as are the total monthly heating and cooling loads and wind direction distribution.
