6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic solar power plant planning map]
What is a solar project phase?
A solar project phase is generally defined as a group of one or more solar units that are installed under one permit, one power purchase agreement, and typically come online at the same time. Each solar farm included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on the GEM wiki. The most recent release of this data was in June 2024.
What kilowatt-peak (kWp) should a pvgis value be?
The peak power should be entered in kilowatt-peak (kWp). PVGIS provides a default value of 14% for overall losses in the solar electricity production system. If you have a good idea that your value will be different (perhaps due to a highly efficient inverter), you can slightly reduce this value.
What is a solar resource database?
It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public, and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database.
How does topography affect solar energy production?
But as demand for solar energy rises, projects are being developed in areas where uneven topography and smaller sites can present challenges. Variations in topography can reduce the usable land area and cause shading on solar panels that results in lower energy yield and lost revenue.
Can solar panels be installed without a site survey?
Scoping out the terrain of a potential project with a site survey is essential to determining whether it is feasible for solar panel installation in the first place. Some developers have started project development without visiting a site, only to find that the land is not suitable for placing solar panels.
