Description
This paper reports on the latest results in support of a U.S. Department of Energy PV-BONUS initiative to develop a commercially viable, modular, grid-connected DPV-PS system which also provides emergency power service for the commercial buildings sector. In this study, we: Assess the market for dual-function PV systems designed to serve peak-shaving and emergency power needs of the commercial buildings sector; and Use the market assessment results to investigate policy options for promoting the adoption of dualfunction PV systems in the commercial buildings sector.
