CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS. FINAL REPORT Volume 2. Systems

摘要

Conceptual designs were made and analyses were performed on three types of solar photovoltaic power systems. Included were Residential (1 - 10 kW), Intermediate (0.1 - 10 Mw), and Central (50 -1000 MW) Power Systems to be installed in the 1985 to 2000 time period. In the residence, a total energy system where the waste heat from the array is used to heat the dwelling appears optimum. If a suitable government incentive is forthcoming, Residential Systems begin to become economic¬ally viable in selected area in the 1985 to 1990 period, while Inter¬mediate and Central Power Systems begin to become viable in the 1990 to 2000 period.
