Solar PV Emergency & Resilience Planning
This brief provides a summary of solar PV applications for emergency planning, followed by an evaluation of criteria for choosing the right type of solar application for resilience.
View DetailsEmergency preparedness planning should incorporate solar PV into integrated emergency, climate adaptation and resilience strategies for effective implementation. Public-private partnerships can increase rate of solar PV installation.
This brief concludes with examples of solar PV applications in municipal emergency and resilience planning in Boston (Massachusetts) and New York City (New York), followed by an introduction to various Florida Solar Energy Center initiatives (Florida). II. Use and Applications
In cases where an emergency shelter requires a significant up-front investment to be entirely supplied by a solar power system, creating a hybrid system that combines solar with a diesel or propane generator can improve efficiency and provide short-term backup power for critical operations.

Advanced operation of a PV plant such as modulating output or power factor can confound the drawing of conclusions from monitored data. A monitoring system should account for clipping of output due to high DC-to-AC ratio, interconnect limits, and called-for curtailment or any other reason.
