PV1 : an interactive computer model to support commercialization policy for photovoltaics policy analysis
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
The purpose of this report is the demonstrate the use of PVI as a policy analysis device. This analysis consists of the creation of a base case and the subsequent running of 50 additional cases to demonstrate the effects ...
PV1 model verification and validation
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
The purpose of this document is 1) to describe, in detail, the theoretic foundation on which PV1 is based, 2) indicate the manner in which its theoretical foundation has been translated into a practical, useful tool for ...

The economics of photovoltaics in the commercial, institutional and industrical sectors
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1980, 1980)
This paper describes the application of a model which computes system break-even capital costs, array break-even capital costs and profits from photovoltaic investments in the industrial, commercial and institutional ...
OESYS : a simulation tool for non-conventional energy applications analysis : theoretical and operational description with user documentation
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1980, 1980)
A method is developed for assessing both the operational and economic performance of variable mixes of energy conversion technologies within their specific service environments. This method is incorporated into OESYS ...
A photovoltaic assisted residence with supplemental battery storage : searching for a complementarity
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-05)
A significant mismatch may exist between residential load
characteristics and array output from photovoltaic energy conversion
systems. This has warranted a closer look at incorporating energy storage
as a supplement ...
