Analysis of Field Collected Data for a Prototype Photovoltaic System in Nauta, Peru

This paper describes the field collected data from a prototype photovoltaic power system at the home of the director of JungleMaster Ministries in Nauta, Peru. The system was designed and installed by a team from George Fox University in the summer of 2017. After almost two years of daily usage, the data was used to analyze the current health and functionality of the installation. Additionally, an unexpected issue with the loads and batteries is discussed, with possible causes and potential solutions.
