Abstract
In this paper, the authors report the performance test results of solar home systems according to IEC 62124: Photovoltaic Stand-alone System-Design verification. The performance test evaluates solar home systems in the several aspects such as battery usable capacity, functional test, recovery test, system balance point, days of autonomy, etc.. The results show that unreasonable design is a main reason to cause failure. The other reasons are considered as battery quality problem, inappropriate setting for controller and controller quality problems.
