Abstract:	This report provides a compilation of technical papers and results of the IEA PVPS Task 2 workshop held in Munich, Germany, on 24 October 2001 in conjunction with the 17th European PV Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition. The papers deal with the operational performance results of PV systems drawn from the performance analysis of different PV systems located in various IEA countries worldwide. The issues of system performance and reliability of small, medium sized to very large PV power systems are included. The report also covers the PVPS Task 2 Performance Database, which contains high quality data of 316 monitored PV systems with an installed capacity of 10,8 MWp. One chapter addresses the added value of PV solar electricity for utilities. This work has been carried out to gather experiences and results of both technical and economical performance, for the promotion of PV. It aims at gaining an increased understanding of the operational performance, energy behaviour, characterization and design of photovoltaic systems, subsystems and components.
