Countries,” included development of financing, program design, and certification of best practice guides. The Project has also helped to open markets for U.S. renewable energy companies. A dozen U.S. companies and organizations, including Uni-Solar Ovonic, GE, Pro Vision Technologies, and Hanalei Solar, participated in a China trade mission, resulting in at least six business partnerships. OWIP cofunded an industry stakeholder meeting that resulted in a focus on policy assistance to strategic countries and on market and policy information dissemination. NREL has expanded testing of PV/wind hybrids, PV applications, and thin-film PV . NREL completed installation of the wind/PV hybrid test facility, which powers village applications such as water purification, lighting, and refrigeration. Live data and system details will be available on the Web. Collaborations with the Solar Energy Center in India have yielded test results from 21 kW of U.S.-manufactured thin-film PV. The HOMER software version 2.1 was tested, and the final version was released in November 2004 as a key milestone for the Project. In FY 2004, HOMER software users grew from 3000 to 4500. Interest from many organizations, such as GE, has resulted in HOMER software enhancements and training sessions around the world. 3.2 SNL/NMSU International In FY 2004, the international groups at SNL and SWRES worked closely together to accomplish two main technical tasks for off-grid, PV applications: systems benchmarking (MYTP Table 4.1.1-6, Task 7, Milestones 35, 50) and battery testing for U.S. companies selling into the PV market (MYTP Table 4.1.1-6, Task 14, Milestone 65). In late 2003 and early 2004, a reliability assessment was done with our local partner (FIRCO) of 46 PV water-pumping systems installed in the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Sonora, and Quintana Roo. The survey found that three-fifths of the systems were still functioning after up to ten years of operation. The failures that did occur were due mainly to breakdowns of the pump controllers and inverters. Of interest, even though a wide variety of U.S. PV module types and brands were used in the various water-pumping systems, none of the PV modules failed. A five-year reliability assessment was also done of an innovative PV lighting system that was developed by SunWize, a New York company, and installed in Chihuahua, Mexico. Field assessments of 35 homes found 80.1% of the systems in good condition (no component failures) and 11.4% in fair condition (one failed lamp). PV modules were the most reliable component with no failures experienced. In the 5.7% of systems that were not operational, lamps, fuses, or controllers were the components that failed. The international groups at SWRES and SNL started in FY 2004 to investigate and test new battery prototypes designed by U.S. companies that had the potential for 15–25 years of operational life. SNL conducted a test series on battery prototypes that were provided. and SWRES examined the field applications for the prototypes. The FY 2004 battery testing was done according to the IEEE Standard 1361 for testing and evaluating batteries used in stand-alone photovoltaic systems. During FY 2004, SNL and SWRES provided technical assistance to large-scale PV projects in Central America and consequently gained access to the PV systems for future input into the DOE/SNL SOLARDB reliability database. In Nicaragua, SWRES helped the National Energy Commission train its staff and local industry on the PV NEC codes and then develop NEC-based technical specs for their US$23 million PV project (>500 kWp) funded by the World Bank. Through our NEC training and technical assistance in Guatamala and Honduras, SNL and SWRES will also have access to 50–2000-Wp PV projects in 2005 that are sponsored by the UN, the Global Environment Facility, and the World Bank.PDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar
