Applications Survey for Remote Photovoltaic Power Systems

Abstract

As part of the Federal Photovoltaic Utilization Program, the U.S. Army determined that photovoltaic (PV) systems in the size range of 50 watts to 2 kilowatts are cost effective, reliable, and nearly maintenance free for remote, stand-alone applications. The objective of this study was to identify installations having potential PV applications and to determine the load and other system requirements. Recommendations for future activities to promote PV use at Army installations are included. Keywords include: Photovoltaic systems and power supplies.
