solar photovoltaic

• Solar field area & storage capacity was varied to assess impact on techno-economic performance of the two solar technologies.

• PV yielded a minimum LCOE of 0.12 USD/kWh and a CUF of 0.27.

• s-ORC yielded a minimum LCOE of 0.19 USD/kWh, with a CUF of 0.56.

This work proposes a method which can provide a rational area estimate of a PV plant factoring sizing considerations from electrical, maintenance, and shading aspects.

The overall goal of the off-grid guidelines of the JNNSM is to achieve wider dissemination of solar
technology, and a generous capital subsidy of up to 90% is offered for rural applications Even so,
there are several bottlenecks to large-scale dissemination Primarily, the techno-economics,
financing and institutional mechanisms of several solar applications are not well understood
Therefore, these form a focus of this study In addition, this study looks at the Government of India’s

After Finance Ministry’s (MoF) decision to reject Commerce Ministry’s (MoC) proposal of anti-dumping duties (ADD) in late August, solar developers heaved a big sigh of relief In this article, we review the controversy generated by the proposal for ADD in the light of existing evidence and future outlook for the solar photovoltaic (SPV) industry. We find that the popular narrative took a myopic view of the SPV industry. This was exhibited by overstating the negative impact of ADD and vice-versa, and the general buoyancy around the MoF decision, as reported in the news.
