Abstract :
The design, installation, and operation of photovoltaic systems at 30 residences and 8 commercial or institutional sites are described. The correlation between hourly PV production and system daily load profile, the potential impact of PV production on residential customer load, the relationship between PV energy production and cloud cover, and the monthly variation in energy output are discussed
