IEA-PVPS Annual Report 2017, p. 102-104http://www.iea-pvps.org/index.php?id=6http://hdl.handle.net/10204/10479Chapter published in the IEA-PVPS Annual Report 2017The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has established an integrated energy research centre to provide decision support to South African industry and policymakers, where such support will be informed by its technical research. As part of the integrated energy research centre, the CSIR has designed and constructed an outdoor Photovoltaic (PV) testing facility at its Pretoria campus to enhance its ability to support the development of PV technology in South Africa and globally, as well as PV system design and optimisation. A picture of the CSIR outdoor PV testing facility is shown in Figure 2. This world-class facility at the CSIR will allow the testing of PV modules and systems under South African environmental conditions, assisting project developers and equipment suppliers to provide quality solutions that minimise cost, risk and maximise returns for investors.enPhotovoltaicPVSouth African Department of Energy Integrated Resource PlanIRPBook ChapterRoro, K.
