“…FPV panels with single-or dual-axis tracking mechanisms will help in maximizing the solar output. Studies reveal that an FPV system with a tracking mechanism increases the electric energy harvest even up to 25% compared to a fixed mount system (Cazzaniga et al 2019;Grubišić-Čabo et al 2016;Nagananthini et al 2019). Recent innovation and advancements in tracker technology aid in the installation and effective operation of tracking mechanisms even in uneven terrain and challenging weather conditions.…”

Floating photovoltaic system for reservoirs is a recent innovative technology that is highly advantageous in reducing evaporation while generating solar power. In addition, the integration of floating photovoltaic systems with the existing hydroelectric power plants will increase renewable power production. The present study aims to assess the electrical performance of floating photovoltaic systems in major reservoirs with existing hydroelectric power plants in India. The reservoirs with large water surface area were selected for the study, and a model floating photovoltaic system with a 5-MW capacity was designed for the selected reservoirs. The numerical analysis showed that installing floating photovoltaic systems will result in an annual energy yield of 160 GWh. Further, the systems also save 1.40 million cubic meters of water per day and also help in generating additional energy of 514.80 MWh/day from the saved water through its integration with hydroelectric power plants. A single-axis tracking mechanism to the floating photovoltaic systems will increase the annual energy generation by 11%. The detailed cost analysis and carbon emission analysis were also carried out. The results indicate that the tracking mechanisms increase the total installation cost of the systems. The annual carbon emission reduction from the floating photovoltaic systems accounts for about 3.30 million tons of CO2. The obtained results highlight the suitability of this innovative technology for installation in Indian reservoirs and its effectiveness in reducing evaporation and carbon emission. Graphic abstract

“…This problem is a big concern in urban setting hence installing rooftop PV systems in the consumer's place may help to solve energy challenge. On the other hand, government must allow consumers to export excess power to the grid (Nagananthini et al, 2019). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of net metering policy instrument as a means of improving electricity access in Malawi.…”

Globally increasing energy demand has had a significant impact on development. In Malawi, the net metering policy, which is part of the framework for independent power producers, has the potential to improve energy access. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the use of net metering policy as a means of improving reliability and access to electricity. The HOMER software was used to size solar PV systems while accounting for net metering at the household level. Reliability indicators such as forced outage rate (FOR), loss of load probability (LOLP), loss of load expectation (LOLE), and expected load loss (ELL) were calculated to be
