6 FAQs about [Solar power generation project background]

What is solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.

Should solar PV projects be aligned with the PPA?

should be aligned with the PPA. Solar PV power plant projects generate revenue by selling power. How power is sold to the end users or an intermediary depends mainly on the power sector structure (vertically integrated or deregulated) and the regulatory framework that governs PV projects.

Are solar PV projects suited to project financing?

Solar PV projects have historically been well suited to project financing because many sell power at a fixed tariff (as opposed to a fluctuating price on a merchant market) and often on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the off-taker purchases whatever volume of power is produced, thus mitigating both price and volume risk.

How do governments support solar PV development?

Loans with low interest rates and other concessionary terms, such as extended tenors or risk sharing, have also been deployed by governments to support solar PV development.

Are solar photovoltaic power plants the future of power generation?

Although it currently represents a small percentage of global power generation, installations of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants are growing rapidly for both utility-scale and distributed power generation applications.

How many large-scale solar PV projects are under construction?

Under Round 1 of the REIPPP, construction has commenced on 18 large-scale solar PV projects with a combined installed capacity of 630 MW. In Round 2, a total of nine projects with a combined capacity of 417 MW were awarded preferred bidder status and are currently under construction.
