Abstract: . . .  is a viable option for you. Where PV Is a Good Choice Residential PV systems are most cost effective in areas where there is not an existing utility power line, and where there is a good and accessible solar resource. For optimum system performance, photovoltaic modules should have full exposure to the sun from at least 10 am to 3 pm all year round. In Alaska, where solar availability at the winter solstice is negligible, PV cannot be expected to provide power year round. However, combining PV with . . .

If you are thinking about investing in a PV system, seek professional assistance and learn all about the safety aspects. _______________________________________ This brief was updated in October 2000.
