6 FAQs about [Small-scale solar power generation in mountainous areas]

Are small-scale solar and hydropower bringing electricity to communities?

From mountain villages in Afghanistan and Bhutan to settlements perched on steep slopes in Nepal, small-scale solar and hydropower are bringing electricity to more and more communities.

Can a solar tree be installed in a mountainous area?

The solar tree has not been popularized yet, so the forest-photovoltaic field has many problems to be solved and is only in its infancy. The solar tree installed in mountainous areas will have a higher fixed load (self-load of solar power system), wind load, and snow load than the flat fixed panel.

Can solar power be harvested in mountainous areas?

An economic aspect of solar power harvesting in mountainous areas is the cost of land. Prices of high altitude parcels could be expected to be lower due to their remote locations. Steep slopes and high distances to socio-economic centers make it less attractive for residential building projects.

Which Solar System is best for a high primary load demand?

The optimization results evidently showed that the solar PV–biomass–wind–diesel system (configuration 1) is the second most optimal system with a levelized COE of 0.341 $/kWh at a total NPC of 410,137 $. However, the average wind speed of the area may not be sufficient for a high primary load demand.

Can solar power be used as an off-grid energy source?

The site is located in a high mountain plateau and has potential to set up off-grid HRESs using solar, wind, and biomass resources. The optimized system is proposed to meet the electricity demands for 300 families. Results indicated that a HRES consisting of solar photovoltaic–biomass–diesel is the most optimal solution.

Is photovoltaic a good option for solar power generation?

This transition has lead to utilization of photovoltaic (PV) for harvesting solar energy. It is easy to install, has low impact on surroundings and it is affordable since the fuel is free of cost ( Kahl et al. 2019 ). In general, solar power generation works better in area with large solar irradiation.
