Obiettivo The objective of the project is to identify cases where PV systems are cheaper than normal or bridge-projects to assure service before future grid connection in remote or complicated places. Other objectives involve the technical and legal aspects of developing a transportable PV system and a definition of "photovoltaic legal contract".The project made a large effort to develop a common methodology for the economic evaluation of the various types of PV plant under review. Capital costs for all systems fell into a reasonably tight range (11.22 to 16.80 ECU/Wp); the main price differences being for the inverter, battery charge collector, auxiliary generator and land. The use of standard components and bulk purchases reduced the total system costs for all PV plants. However, operational and maintenance cost data were not available for all PV plants, so further investigation is necessary.Assessment of component designs identified a range of issues which should be addressed. These included the: input voltage to the inverter; failure rate of the batteries; and, battery sizing with respect to discharge, temperature, and number of cycles. Finally, the project found no legal or institutional impediments to the implementation of stand-alone PV plants, although the widespread application of PV systems is hindered mainly by the current overall cost level.The aim of the study is to define a reliable, low cost PhotoVoltaic package which could be adopted by utilities as an alternative to wire-conditioner service. The contractors will carry out the following subtasks : A) Study of technical aspects - Configuration - Quality power supply. B) Study of economical aspects - O&M costs - KWH costs - Identification of application cases. C) Study of legal aspects - Analyze existing cases - Legal frame definition - Legal contract proposal.
