PVCROPS (PhotoVoltaic Cost r€duction, Reliability, Operational performance, Prediction and
Simulation) is a project within the European Framework Programme 7 whose objectives are: improving the
performance, reliability and lifetime of PV systems; reducing the cost of PV systems; and enhancing the integration
of PV into the grid. The main way to reduce the initial costs of a PV installation involves an optimal design and
subsequent construction. As a consequence, this optimization leads to a higher performance and to a lower levelized
cost of electricity from PV. PVCROPS Work Package 2 and Work Package 9 have been conceived to achieve some
of these objectives by proposing both an optimization of the design, to avoid undesirable initial mistakes that can
make more expensive the cost of the installation, and a quality control of PV systems, to ensure the final installation
matches the one designed initially and that it is able to overcome production requirements. This paper presents one of
the main results of these work packages: a document that reflects the accumulated experience in the field by the
PVCROPS team about actual PV installations and which contains, first, a general proposal of technical specifications
for grid-connected PV systems and, second, the corresponding quality control procedures to check if the installation
fulfills the technical specifications previously established. This document has also a report about a comparison
between available PV energy performance models and a proposal about how to face the hot-spot problem within
commercial frameworks. [--]
