ABSTRACT
Switzerland takes part in the Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) programme of the International
Energy Agency (IEA), Task 2. The overall objectives of the Task 2 is to improve the operation, sizing,
electrical and economic output of photovoltaic systems and components by collecting, analysing and
disseminating information on their technical and economic performance and reliability, providing a
basis for their assessment, and developing practical recommendations.
Activities of Phase III, 2004 - 2007
Subtask 1: Performance Database (enrichment and dissemination of the performance database) This
tool has now worldwide more than 3’000 users form 90 different countries. It is being updated at least
once a year by the expert-group. The database is now available online at the public website
http://www.iea-pvps-task2.org.
Subtask 5: Technical Assessments and Technology Trends of PV Systems This Task is developing
know-how and experience concerning the long-term reliability as well as the user-awareness of PV
systems and ways to analyse and predict the performance of PV systems.
Subtask 6: PV System Cost over Time (Activity leader Switzerland) The global economical survey
aims at gathering information on plants, technical performance, maintenance and cost of as many PV
systems as possible. With an Internet-based survey tool performance and economic data was collected
over the past year.
Subtask 7: Dissemination Acitivities, Educational Tools.
Task 13: A two day workshop on Performance and Reliability, held in Berlin in September 2007, was
the start of a discussion to form a new Task for the continuaton of Task 2.
This project is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.
