Abstract:
With more than 1.3 Wp of grid connected Wp per capita, the Netherlandsranks among countries with the highest installed PV power per capita.
Since the start with demonstration systems in the early nineties, projects
have increased in size and numbers. In 2002, 5 MWp of grid connected
PV-systems was installed, adding up to a total of 21.7 MWp installed
grid-connected PV capacity.
Now that the PV-market is growing and more and more consumers are coming
into contact with the technology, detailed monitoring is not necessary
and not done anymore. On the other hand, demands on quality and reliability
are increasing, which makes assurance of quality all the more important.
Rumours about bad functioning PV systems spread faster than about the
good functioning ones. These rumours can affect the trust of the market
in this technology.
In this report, results of the first investigation of this kind in the
Netherlands are presented. Information on quality was obtained through
review of results of commissioning tests, contacting the involved market
actors, experience with operation and maintenance, through analysis
of performance data and through carrying out extra tests where needed.
In this way, information was gathered on 25% of the total installed
capacity in the Netherlands.
