Remote power-integrated, customer oriented solutions

Abstract

Throughout its history, BP Solar has focussed strongly on the production of integrated power solutions to it's customers, using photovoltaics as the central, but not unique, technology. This paper discusses the customer driven development of two 'new generation' hybrid power systems, one AC the other DC. Both involve the combination of photovoltaics with a conventional power source (diesel/wind) in a fully integrated system, as well as providing remote electronic system access, advanced data and event logging, and comprehensive computer graphic analysis software.
