摘要：

Photovoltaic generation is a candidate for bulk power over the next decade, because of its simplicity and absence of emissions. Previous reports cover the performance of individual plants in the U.S., and this paper reviews the performance, availability, and maintenance for ten photovoltaic plants since 1983. Problems are examined and achievable capacity factors are presented. The cost of photovoltaic electricity is developed as a function of investment cost, maintenance costs, and capacity factor— which in turn depends upon the site, the plant's availability, and the tracking employed. © 1990 IEEE
