Objetivo To demonstrate on small, yet real scale the possibility of the complete pv electrification of a small island. Care is taken of the preservation of the environment and the optimisation of the power generation and consumption.The small (2 square kilometers) island of Santo Stefano, 45 km off the coast of Lazio south of Gaeta, is to be electrified with distributed pv systems, total 21 kWp, for lighting, refrigeration, water pumping sterilizing. The island, until now prison and without electricity, shall be opened for tourism.Nr. of subsystems : 3Power of subsystems: 4293, 9063 and 7632 kWPTotal power : 21 kWpBackup : Data not availableNumber of modules : 396 (81, 171 and 144)Module description : SIEMENS M55 monocristalline, 1295 x 332 x 30 mm; 6,3 kg; glass/EVA covers; 53 WpConnection : 9, 19 and 16 parallel strings of nine series conected modules.Support : Data not available.Battery : TS-SPAIN Batt.(V) : 108 V.
