REPORT:
Solar Electric Power for Instruments at Remote Sites

-- P.J. McChesney, 2000, Solar Electric Power for Instruments at Remote Sites: USGS Open-File Report 00-128, 71p.

Small photovoltaic (PV) systems are the preferred method to power instruments operating at permanent locations away from the electric power grid. The low-power PV power system consists of a solar panel or small array of panels, lead-acid batteries, and a charge controller. -- McChesney, 2000
