The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) conducts joint projects in the application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electricity. Currently six research projects, so-called Tasks, are established within the IEA PVPS Programme. These are:

• Task 1. Exchange and dissemination of information on photovoltaic power systems
• Task 2. Performance, Reliability and Analysis of Photovoltaic Systems
  • Performance database: www.iea-pvps-task2.org/database, including download option
• Task 8. Very large scale photovoltaic power generation systems in remote areas
• Task 9. Photovoltaic services for developing countries
• Task 10. Urban-scale grid-connected PV applications
  • Web: www.iea-pvps-task10.org
• Task 11: PV hybrid systems within mini-grids
• Task 12: PV environmental health and safety
