摘要
Photovoltaic (PV) applications for rural areas of developing countries are discussed in relation to PV system technology, reliability and present and projected cost. The information presented is derived mainly from NASA Lewis Research Center experience with PV systems deployed with a variety of users for applications relevant to developing countries. A detailed description of two village power systems is included. Energy cost comparisons are presented for PV systems versus alternative energy sources. On the basis are presented for PV systems versus alternative energy sources. On the basis of present PV system technology, reliability and cost it is concluded that photovoltaics provide a realistic energy option for developing countries in both the near and long term. © 1979.
