Abstract :
Los Sabinos, a small rural community in the mountains of Mexico has been electrified by means of small distributed PV power systems. The systems were designed and built using, for the first time, the technical specification for photovoltaic rural electrification systems originally developed at the IIE. Since 1992, these PV systems have been monitored. In this paper, the results after two and a half years of operation are presented. The main problems found are pointed out and the lessons learned are discussed
