What Considerations are there in Choosing Photovoltaics?
* Initial cost - a greater initial financial investment than in conventional power systems
* Efficiency improvements - A high-efficiency approach to energy consumption greatly influences the cost effectiveness of
the system
* Energy storage - The size, cost and complexity of a PV system increases if the system incorporates batteries for the storage
of energy
* Variability of available solar radiation - climate, site conditions, and weather require many system design modifications
to optimize power output of any solar-based energy system
