“…Diurnal and seasonal patterns provide some predictability in solar generation; however, radiation can be affected by other weather conditions that are difficult to predict, such as cloud and the composition of the atmosphere. Thus, a thick cloud layer can absorb available solar radiation, thereby decreasing energy production [35].…”

In the last two decades, Peru has experienced a process of transformation in the sources of its energy matrix, increasing the participation of clean energy such as solar photovoltaic (PV), on-shore wind, biomass, and small hydro. However, hydropower and natural gas remain the main sources of electricity, whereas off-shore wind, biogas, waves, tidal, and geothermal sources are currently underdeveloped. This article presents the enormous potential of Peru for the generation of electrical energy from a solar source equivalent to 25 GW, as it has in one of the areas of the world with the highest solar radiation throughout the year. In addition, this article presents the main advantages, benefits, and considerations of the implementation of solar photovoltaic technology, with emphasis on (i) the potential of solar energy, showing the available potential and an installed capacity by the year 2024 equivalent to 398 MW, (ii) current solar energy sources, characterizing existing industrial solar photovoltaic (PV) energy plants, and (iii) future solar energy facilities projections, stating the portfolio of solar renewable energy plant projects to be implemented in the future considering an installed capacity of 7.2 GW by 2028. Additionally, lessons learned, challenges, and directions for the future development of solar energy in the country are presented. Finally, the article concludes that if Peru takes advantage of solar potential by considering a sustainable future perspective and implementing strategic land-use planning, the southern region will be transformed into a world-class territory for renewable energy development considering the hybridization of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar energy storage systems.

“…Regardless of the PV systems' surface installed, the most crucial parameter is the amount of total radiation falling on the module surface. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate solar sources by analyzing and predicting the spatiotemporal distribution of solar radiation [14]. In this planning, the slope of the modules, reflections, and shadows from the environment are the criteria to be considered separately.…”

In this study, remote sensing (RS) was used to determine the 20-year area and shoreline changes of Demirköprü Dam reservoir. Using a geographical information system (GIS) solar analysis tool, annual and monthly total global horizontal irradiance (GHI) values were calculated within the area of the reservoir’s shorelines based on 20-years of observations. The regional theoretical capacity factor (RTCF) proposed in this study was modelled using total annual GHI values. The water surface was divided into four regions using RTCFs 94.97%, 4.92%, 0.08%, and 0.02% of the total water surface area were classified as RTCF21, RTCF20, RTCF19, and RTCF18, respectively. The annual electrical energy potentials per unit for each RTCF were calculated. The novel method developed in this study for determining the optimum location of FPV SPPs to be installed on water surfaces reveals the importance of evaluating land topography and considering annual patterns of shading.

“…If the orientation and the tilt angle are not chosen well, the PV power plant does not produce the amount of electricity it could, compared to a more appropriate (more rational) setting; consequently, the economic indicators of the investment may also deteriorate significantly, e.g., the payback time may be considerably longer. Additionally, being aware of the climatic and other individual conditions of the location (e.g., topography) is indispensable for the maximization of the amount of energy that can be generated annually [ 5 , 6 ]. This also means that the ideal settings (e.g., the distances between strings) are different from place to place.…”

In today’s photovoltaic (PV) power plants, traditional crystalline PV modules are the prevalent technology, which is highly susceptible to partial shading due to the risk of irreversible damage. Therefore, it is advisable to explore potential construction sites for objects that might cause shading, including high-voltage transmission towers, whose shading effects can be significant due to their height. By means of innovative simulation, using a model, validated with actual data, this study endeavored to deliver novel information related to the problems of shading by high-voltage transmission lines. In the context of Hungary, it examined the risk factors, technical and economic aspects, and possible solutions important for PV projects. It provides new insight, much needed also at the international level, considering the fact that the extent of the shadows cast by conductors on the surface at low Sun elevations is not known at present and neither are the shading characteristics of conductors between two transmission towers, depending on their height, in winter, when the Sun is low. An added practical benefit of the study is that its technical and economic approaches and the software solutions are all based on the practice of PV system design and construction. Related to the investigated issues, this can facilitate the formulation of the technical and economic aspects of suitable PV power plant building strategies in Hungary.
