Publications/Resources
One
of the most valuable achievements of the PVPS programme over
the past 10 years is the wealth of independent information
products on all aspects of PV technology and its implementation
that the international collaborative efforts have given rise
to.
As
of January 2004, the programme has published over seventy
technical reports, books, proceedings and papers. In addition
PVPS publishes a regular biannual newsletter,
and has also released a software tool - the PV Systems performance
database - for the analysis of operational performance of
numerous PV systems around the world.
Many
of these products
are now available for download
from the PVPS main website.
Additional
resources with specific relevance to PV in the UK are available
for download, or can be requested, via this page.
