The UTE guide 15-712 which defines precautions for photovoltaic systems or installations will be reviewed. Why?
Released in February 2008, this guide is a supplement to the standard C15-100 which states electrical installations rules in France. After more than a year of practice, certain clarifications were needed. For example, we see in the market new photovoltaic panels requiring earthing of a polarity. This issue was not addressed in the first version. With regard to lightning protection, harmonization is needed between the C15-100, 15-712, and some texts in preparation at European level, within another guide. This revision work has started during the month of May 2009. UTE works in parallel on draft guide for the remote sites. In the future, the text about installations connected to network will be called 15-712-1, and the one about remote sites 15-712-2.
What are the main axes of the photovoltaic Commission of Gimelec?
-The first one is marketing: promotion of photovoltaic to different audiences.
-The second one is technical: to push forward the standardization work, which is very important to ensure full security of photovoltaic installations and therefore to boost this sector.
-The third is organisation: to aims to educate all market participants to the necessary simplification of administrative procedures. Thus, while France’s objective is to reduce to 4 months the deadline for connecting a photovoltaic (PV) installation in the network, some European countries like Czech Republic, where the PV is growing strongly, has a lead-time less than a month.
What should be done in addition in order to optimize the development of solar electricity (photovoltaic)?
Training of all concerned actors is a high priority. Efforts by professional bodies should be developed and strengthened. The second point concerns the organization and mode of operation between the professionals, electricians, roofers, heating engineers or even plumbers. Photovoltaic’s requires either to acquire new skills or to develop collaborations between jobs & actors. This movement is natural, but should still be enhanced.

The economics of solar projecs need to be understood. Most projects require heavy government underwriting. Rarely is the subject of maintenance addresed. Who cleans the cell surfaces? How often is it required and at what cost? The conversion equipment must be considerd in the capital cost , and as a maintenance cost. What is the overall efficiency at the point of connection to the grid? Is the lost utility of the land used for the site factored in? An alternate use, e.g. farming timber production has to figure in as a lost oportunity. Note that when Germany reduced or eliminated the subsidy projects were cancelled.
i want to buy a solar energy system to run my home appliances liake fridge,t.v.,a.c.,fan and tube light.what will its price.

hi all,
can any one tell me about sizing photvoltaic?
Thank you.
Hi,
I would like to know the feasibility of providing solar power to meet all the house hold needs. How affordable it is. In India we have bright sunshine for more than 300 days a year. please respond at the earliest.
hai,
my name is ameer . iam 3rd year Btech EEE student, can u give me information about solar appliances pls help me.
