Solar power generation by PV (photovoltaic) technology: A review
For the generation of electricity in far flung area at reasonable price, sizing of the power supply system plays an important role. Photovoltaic systems and some other renewable energy systems are, therefore, an excellent choices in remote areas for low to medium power levels, because of easy scaling of the input power source [6], [7].The main attraction of the PV
Cost and CO2 reductions of solar photovoltaic power generation in China
To improve the understanding of the cost and benefit of photovoltaic (PV) power generation in China, we analyze the per kWh cost, fossil energy replacement and level of CO 2 mitigation, as well as the cost per unit of reduced CO 2 of PV power generation in 2020 at the province level. Three potential PV systems are examined: large-scale PV (LSPV), building
Electricity price subsidy or carbon-trading subsidy: which is more
The electricity generated by a solar PV power-generation system would be input to the power grid and sold at a particular price. A common incentive mechanism is to subsidize the unit profit P e of the power plant (e.g., the feed-in tariff policy).
