Abstract
Cost-effective photovoltaic (PV) use by utilities is anticipated to extend beyond today´s small, stand-alone installations to grid support, villages and islands, and customer-sited applications before PV enters peaking and bulk power markets. PV research at Pacific Gas and Electric Company has evolved since 1980 to demonstrate the technology and stimulate utility consideration and acceptance of PV
