Procedures for Determining the Performance of Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems

This document provides the procedures for determining the performance of stand-alone PV systems. The procedures in this document provide a common approach for evaluating whether a given PV system is suitable to perform the function for which it was designed and manufactured to accomplish, and whether it will provide adequate power to run the load. These procedures cover small stand-alone PVsystems. They cover complete outdoor system testing. Test results are valid only for the system that is tested.
