Solar photovoltaic system are being considered as a means to reducing the utilities peak demand requirements. We have investigated the energy displacement and peak load shaving capabilities of photovoltaic system at the customer both theoretically and experimentally.
The following papers illustrate our work in solar photovoltaic systems:
