The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCP’s within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstone in the transition to sustainable energy systems.”
In addition to photovoltaic panels, a solar power plant contains mounting structures, tracking systems, batteries and power electronics (inverter, controller and grid connection equipment). Everyone knows that photovoltaic systems convert solar energy into electricity. However, few people know the interesting origin of the term " photovoltaic ".
There you have it, a guide to the solar project development process. While the development process can be complex, involving various assessments, design and engineering, permitting and financing, construction, and ongoing maintenance, the benefits of these projects are numerous.
Optimizing the maintenance of solar PV power plants using electronic systems is an important factor in the success of an investment project. A well-designed monitoring and analysis system contributes to an increase in annual electricity production, a significant reduction in operating, repair and maintenance costs.
With permits and financing secured, the construction and installation phase of a solar project can commence. This phase is where the physical solar panels and equipment are installed on-site and connected to the power grid. It includes several key steps that require careful planning and execution.
Interconnection Design and Application: The next step in the solar project development process involves managing interconnection to the electric grid. Proper interconnection with the electric grid is crucial to a successful solar project.
