Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze user requirements of photovoltaic generating facilities for detached houses. For the analysis, 202 households that installed photovoltaic generating facilities to conduct a survey. According to the survey results, users mainly demanded 'Reduction in self-burden amount' and 'Maintenance Services.' In addition, when conducting 'Education for photovoltaic generating facilities', they highly wanted to participated in it. Results on the installation status of photovoltaic generating facilities are as follows: Of locations where photovoltaic generating facilities are installed, the most households installed them on the roof, 54%. As for the angle in which photovoltaic module is installed, the range of $25{\sim}35^{\circ}$ was the most common and in the case of installation direction, southern exposure accounted for the rate of 93%. The monthly average generation of households surveyed is approximately 320kWh. Research on technology and policy to address user requirements shown in this study is deemed necessary in the future.
