4 FAQs about Large-scale comparative test of solar cabinets used in mountainous areas

Could a solar power station be built in a mountainous region?

There are a large number of barren mountains in China that could be utilized for PV, and some researchers have investigated the possibility of constructing PV power stations in mountainous regions. Singh Doorga et al. modelled the solar PV potential using GIS and MCDM in the main island of Mauritius .

How to determine the optimal site for mountain PV projects?

To determine the optimal site for mountain PV projects, assessment of climatic, geographic, policy, and social factors should be conducted. The MCDM methods can help in making the optimal choices from multiple concurrent criteria.

Is spatial module arrangement optimal in a large-scale PV farm deployment?

Therefore, the problem of optimal spatial module arrangement in the large-scale PV farm deployment in the complex topography can be effectively formulated as an optimization problem with two objectives, as given in Equations (15) and (16) as follows.

Can LCOE be used to evaluate the economic advantages of mountain PV?

LCOE can be used to compare and evaluate the overall economic advantages of mountain PV compared to conventional generation methods. The PV unit investment cost in Yunnan Province is set at 3.79 RMB/W. Table 3 displays the parameters employed in the LCOE model in this paper.
