IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme
Website: http://iea-pvps.org/
The Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme is a collaborative R&D Agreement, established within the International Energy Agency, and conducting projects on the application of solar photovoltaic electricity. IEA PVPS operates worldwide via a network of national teams in member countries.
In the annual reports the IEA-PVPS provides an overview about PV technology status and prospects in industrialized and some southern countries.
Within the PVPS the following tasks deal with Photovoltaic:
Task status reports
- Task 1 - Exchange and Dissemination of Information on Photovoltaic Power Systems
- Task 8 - Study on Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation System
- Task 9 - Photovoltaic Services for Developing Countries
- Task 10 - Urban Scale PV Applications
- Task 11 - Hybrid Systems within Mini-Grids
- Task 12 - PV Environmental Health & Safety Activities
- Task 13 - Performance an Reliability of PV Systems
- Task 14 - High Penetration PV in Electricity Grids
Task 9 deals with Photovoltaic services for developing countries.
