PV1 model verification and validation

Abstract

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 analysis of photovoltaic commercialization policy, 3) document both the sources of data and the variables used in the model, and 4) provide the basis for comments from potential users.
