6 FAQs about [Illustration of the transportation method of photovoltaic panels on steep slopes]

How to determine PV power generation potential of highway slopes?

The PV power generation potential of highway slopes can be determined after entering the highway geometric and radiation data and adopting the desirable placement scheme of the PV array. Figure 1. The technical approach of the highway slope PV power generation potential assessment. 2.1. Highway Segmentation and Slope Area Calculation

Can solar power be generated on the slopes of a highway?

The theoretical and actual power generation of the PV system on the slopes of the selected highway section. Table A7. The assessment results of the solar power generation on the slopes of different highway segments (kWh).

Can PV PGP be assessed on Highway slopes?

Therefore, this study proposes an assessment method for the PV PGP on highway slopes using the design or calculated highway and slope geometric parameters and the solar radiation received by PV panels under the desirable placement scheme.

How can the assessment method be used for Highway PV power generation?

The assessment method could help with the estimation of the solar energy utilization potential of highway slopes and facilitate decision making and scheme selection in the planning and design stages of highway PV power generation system projects.

Can photovoltaic panels be placed on a slope of a road?

Layout of photovoltaic panels on the south-facing slope of the road. Similarly, the optimal tilt angles of PV arrays on the slopes of roads in typical directions could be simulated and derived using PVsyst7.2, and they are shown in Table 2. However, the desirable PV array placement may not always be in the same orientation as the target slope.

Does slope orientation affect PV power generation potential?

The PV power generation potential of a slope is significantly impacted by the type and orientation of the subgrade. Therefore, the slope orientation calculation method of the three kinds of subgrade was investigated to facilitate the potential assessment. Figure 3.
