“…The usable potential study considers the technical energy capacity and production of a specific technology given resource potential, device performance, terrain restrictions, ecosystem attributes, and land-use limitations. The information to be considered in the usable potential estimation includes [32]: The non-available land area in the southern region of Peru is likely restricted by steep topography and the distance to transmission lines and roads, while the land area in the Amazon region is likely restricted by land type (forest) and insolation values [33]. The useful solar energy technical potential for Peru is equivalent to 25,000 MW.…”

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.

“…This theoretical data based on FARMS-NIT compute efficiently the radiative transfer equation producing a spectral irradiance in all-sky condition transposed to a tilted surface in an hourly resolution in wavelength steps from 0.5 to 5 nm and in the wavelength range from 280 to 4000 nm. As a reference, the experimental spectral data in Conde et al [15] is considered. This campaign includes one year of solar spectra with a temporal resolution of less than 1 minute and broadband irradiances, measured in the location mentioned above between 03.2019 and 02.2020.…”

“…Additionally, both spectral data sets are filtered by the angle of incidence (AoI) to minimize the influence of larger air mass with predominant diffuse radiation on the global spectral irradiance. Here, we discarded data for AoI > 50°, as seen in [15].…”

The photovoltaic performance under operating outdoor conditions is affected by the variability of the solar spectrum. The spectral distribution is quantifiable using the average photon energy (APE). In the present study, we characterize the spectral distribution in a low-latitude location such as Lima - Peru through a decade of simulated solar spectra obtained on demand from the National Solar Radiation Database and taking as a reference one year of ground-based experimental data following the decade of theoretical spectra. This characterization utilizes annual and monthly averages of irradiance-weighted APEs. The results indicate a difference of only 0.2% between the average annual APE for the decade and the annual ground-based experimental APE. Additionally, the theoretical monthly APEs for the decade show a seasonality consistent with our experimental data for the summer months but not for the winter months.

“…In terms of values derived directly from the spectrum, the average photon energy (APE) [16] is frequently used [17][18][19][20]. The APE is the mean energy of the photons contained within a predetermined waveband of spectral irradiance.…”
