6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic power generation support for sewage treatment plants]

Why do wastewater treatment plants use solar PV?

In wastewater treatment plants with a flow rate below 5 MGD, the absence of energy generation from biogas could have led the adoption of solar PV. In these plants, solar PV often represented the only source of renewable energy, producing between 30% and 100% of the energy demand of these plants.

Which wastewater treatment plant has a solar PV installation?

The wastewater treatment plant treating 165 MGD with a 4.2 MW solar system installed was the biggest plant with a solar PV installation. However, this plant presented unique conditions, which made it non-representative of global practices.

Is solar energy economically viable in a wastewater treatment plant?

Foley (2010) analysed the economic feasibility of solar in a wastewater treatment plant in Singapore to meet the plant's energy requirement. He concluded that solar energy was economically viable only with a rebate of at least 63%.

Can solar PV and biogas be combined in a high-strength wastewater treatment system?

Bustamante and Liao (2017) successfully combined solar PV with biogas in a hybrid configuration to achieve energy self-sufficiency in a high-strength wastewater treatment system.

Can solar PV be used in the wastewater sector?

This work informs the broader community on the status of adoption of solar PV in the wastewater sector. Energy utilities could benefit from knowing how the energy demand and consumption of the wastewater sector as a whole is changing as a result of the adoption of this renewable energy technology.

How many solar PV systems are installed at wastewater treatment plants?

The 41 solar PV systems installed at wastewater treatment plants ranged from a minimum capacity of 12 kW to a maximum of 4.2 MW, with an average installation of 0.86 MW. The most commonly installed Solar PV system was 1 MW, installed in 34% of the cases.
