6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Project Planning]

Are solar photovoltaic power plants the future of power generation?

Although it currently represents a small percentage of global power generation, installations of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants are growing rapidly for both utility-scale and distributed power generation applications.

Should solar PV projects be aligned with the PPA?

should be aligned with the PPA. Solar PV power plant projects generate revenue by selling power. How power is sold to the end users or an intermediary depends mainly on the power sector structure (vertically integrated or deregulated) and the regulatory framework that governs PV projects.

What is a solar PV power plant?

The PV effect is a semiconductor effect whereby solar radiation falling onto the semiconductor PV cells generates electron movement. The output from a solar PV cell is DC electricity. A PV power plant contains many cells connected together in modules and many modules connected together in strings8 to produce the required DC power output.

What is a solar PV development process?

In broad terms, this process applies to the development of any privately-financed, utility-scale power plant. Aspects of the process that are unique to the use of solar PV technology, such as assessment of solar energy yield, site selection, and technology selection are emphasized more in the subsections below.

Are solar PV projects suited to project financing?

Solar PV projects have historically been well suited to project financing because many sell power at a fixed tariff (as opposed to a fluctuating price on a merchant market) and often on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the off-taker purchases whatever volume of power is produced, thus mitigating both price and volume risk.

How to improve the performance of a solar PV power plant?

The performance of a solar PV power plant can be optimised by reducing the system losses. Reducing the total loss increases the annual energy yield and hence the revenue, though in some cases it may increase the cost of the plant. In addition, efforts to reduce one type of loss may conflict with efforts to reduce losses of a different type.
