Solar Resource and Equipment Assessments
The key component of a site evaluation for a solar plant is the solar resource assessment, which ensures that the location has optimal conditions for generating solar energy.
Site Evaluations
The key component of a site evaluation for a solar plant is the solar resource assessment, which ensures that the location has optimal conditions for generating solar energy. This process involves:
Solar Irradiance Measurement
Evaluating the amount of solar energy received at the site over time, typically measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m²). This helps determine the potential energy output of the solar plant.
Shading Analysis
Identifying any physical obstructions like trees, buildings, or terrain features that may cause shading on the solar panels, reducing efficiency. This includes creating a solar path diagram to evaluate the shading impact throughout the year.
Orientation and Tilt Optimization
Determining the ideal orientation (usually south-facing in the Northern Hemisphere) and the optimal tilt angle for solar panels to maximize exposure to sunlight across different seasons.
Seasonal Variability Assessment
Analyzing how the amount of sunlight changes over the course of the year, factoring in weather patterns, cloud cover, and seasonal sun path variations to estimate the plant’s energy production throughout the year.
Long-Term Solar Data Collection
Using historical solar radiation data and advanced modelling tools to predict future performance and ensure that the solar plant will operate efficiently for its expected lifespan.
Inverter and Battery Evaluation
Assessing the selection and placement of inverters, which are critical for converting the DC power generated by the panels into usable AC power. This includes evaluating the efficiency, durability, and capacity of the inverters to handle peak loads. Additionally, evaluating energy storage solutions, such as batteries, is crucial for storing excess energy and managing power fluctuations. Battery sizing, efficiency, and discharge cycles are assessed to ensure optimal energy storage and supply.
