Abstract :
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is one of eleven electric utilities that participated in the first phase of the US Environmental Protection Agency´s Photovoltaic Demand-Side Management (PV-DSM) Program. PG&E participation involved the December 1993 installation and subsequent testing of a 10 kWAC PV power system on a PG&E-owned building in San Ramon, California, USA. The performance of the system supports the technical readiness of rooftop-mounted PV systems
