by the DOE Solar Program participants. This activity recognizes the positive role the government can play by adopting PV and consequently provides agencies (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, U.S. Department of Defense, Bureau of Land Management) and various states the technical assistance needed to successfully demonstrate the value of PV. 2.2 Infrastructure Development This activity consists of multiple training, design • review and approval, and codes and standards development activities. Training occurs through multiple venues and in several subject areas. A key issue with fielded systems is poor installation, which has been addressed consistently by the RES staff. Activities began by providing training to interested parties and have evolved to the creation and establishment of a National Installer Certification Program, an independent activity that the RES were instrumental in creating. Similarly, training of inspectors and installers is now evolving to a system of “training the trainers,” providing an opportunity to reach a greater audience while minimizing investment. Technical assistance to the industry and users has resulted in an evolving design review and approval standard that provides guidance for uniform designs and system documentation. This activity promotes a level of quality recognized and practiced by other industries that provide recognized products in successful markets. Development of codes, standards, and certification addresses compliance to a set of prescribed recommendations in order to assure quality and safety. The RES’s proactive approach provides the opportunity to guide development of codes and standards that assure performance, quality, and safety without creating a cost burden for the industry. Certification of hardware creates and applies a uniform set of standards in a recognizable format that instills consumer confidence. Certification is also the basis for assuring optimal awards from government incentive programs. 2.2 Long-Term Component Testing The RES provide unique environments for environmentally stressing PV components. Initially, they provided long-term exposure in hot/dry and hot/humid climates for stressing PV modules deployed in a field-like setting. More recently, a similar approach has begun to study Photovoltaic R&D Technology Development • Taught a North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Preparatory Course for more than 100 people from throughout the United States. • Performed complete assessment of utility- scale PV power plants in Arizona and California for performance, reliability, and cost benchmarks. • John Wiles (SWRES) served as Secretary of the PV Industry Forum; drafted 24 pages of recommended changes to the 2008 National Electrical Code. • SERES: T erminated outdoor-exposure and performance tests of Global Solar Energy's P3 55 Power Packs (CIGS) after 120 days. The ~20% degradation in power output prevented FSEC from assigning a power rating to the modules. • SWRES: Participated in development of the Solar Program’s International Strategic Plan; conducted survey of U.S. vendors. • SWRES: Provided design reviews to dozens of major PV system developers (e.g., PowerLight, RWE Schott Solar) and purchasers (e.g., utilities, Million Solar Roofs communities) for code compliance and proper design. • SWRES: Installed and placed under test 2.5-kW CIS thin-film array for long-term exposure and evaluation. • SWRES: Provided system acceptance testing for a 35-kW PV system for the City of Tucson. • SWRES and SERES: Provided testing and analysis of c-Si and thin-film modules in support of the Module Long-Term Exposure Program. • SWRES: Provided a system rating and current field evaluation of the SMUD PV-2, 1-MW array with recommendations for remediation of parts of the plant. 104 the long-term performance of inverters in field-like outdoor configurations. Additional activities include placing the inverters in a distributed- generation scenario to address issues associated with controls and generator interactions. Both of these activities are complementary to SNL’s baseline tests, which establish initial component performance parameters 3. Results and Accomplishments Trained more than 200 code officials in one- day workshops in New York, California, Colorado, and Wisconsin.
