Feasibility study report on intelligent photovoltaic support

What is a PV feasibility study?

A feasibility study determines whether a PV power plant can be profitably operated at a given location. An analysis of the local conditions (solar radiation, site analysis and environmental factors) and the technical design of the PV plant are used to compile the study.

What is a solar power feasibility study?

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 March 2016 Feasibility Study As mentioned in Chapter 5, the solar power feasibility study is the foremost fundamental engineering effort required for assessing and planning any type of solar power system design.

What factors are included in a PV power plant feasibility study?

The factors included are marketability, investment suitability and the insurability of the PV power plant. A feasibility study determines whether a PV power plant can be profitably operated at a given location.

How do I conduct a solar power feasibility study?

To conduct a solar feasibility study, the engineer or the designer must obtain the following customer-supplied documentation: Solar power feasibility studies usually involve several site visits and a close collaborative effort with the owners: Solar Power Site Survey Guide and Logs

Is PV installation economically feasible?

Following this techno-economic feasibility study, the PV installation is not always economically feasible, especially for areas where electricity prices are relatively low. Finding sustainable and economic methods for the deployment of PV energy is crucial for the improvement of PV benefits.

What is the IEA photovoltaic power systems programme?

The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCP’s within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstone in the transition to sustainable energy systems.”
