Design of a Net-Metering and PV Exhibit for the 2005 Solar Decathlon

Design of a Net-Metering and PV Exhibit for the 2005 Solar Decathlon

NREL

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

In the 2005 Solar Decathlon competition, 19 collegiate teams will design, build, and operate grid-independent homes powered by photovoltaic (PV) arrays on the National Mall. The prominence of grid-interconnected systems in the marketplace has provided the impetus for the development of a net-metering exhibit to be installed and operated during the competition. The exhibit will inform the visitingpublic about PV basics and appropriate alternatives to grid-independent systems. It will consist of four interactive components. One will be designed to educate people about the principles of net metering using a small PV array, a grid-interactive inverter, and a variable load. Additional components of the exhibit will demonstrate the effects of orientation, cloud cover, and nighttime onperformance. The nighttime component will discuss appropriate storage options for different applications.
