How to make the best use of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system?

How to make the best use of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system has received much attention in recent years. Integrating geographic information systems (GIS), this paper proposes a new spatial optimization problem, the maximal PV panel coverage problem (MPPCP), for solar PV panel layout design. Suitable installation areas are first delineated in GIS.

Can a solar PV panel be located on a rooftop?

area, and demand is continuously distributed across the region. In this study, a solar PV panel could be sited almost anywhere on a rooftop, and sunlight is continuously distributed across an unshaded area. The PV panel spati al layout p roblem is then a continuous space location problem.

Where can a solar PV panel be located?

In this study, a solar PV panel could be sited almost anywhere on a rooftop, and sunlight is continuously distributed across an unshaded area. The PV panel spati al layout p roblem is then a continuous space location problem. Such a problem is often more challenging to formulate and solve [42,43]. A common strategy relies upon continuous spa ce

Is there a need for space design of PV power plants?

Hence, there is still a need for further research in the space design of PV power plants. The tilt angle and row spacing constitute two crucial parameters in the space design of PV power plants, exerting a significant influence on these facilities' performance and economic feasibility.

Can a solar PV array be located on a rooftop?

Different orientations and alignment scenarios are incorporated in the model to account for installation constraints while achieving the goal of maximal energy production. The new problem is applied to locate solar PV arrays on a rooftop with limited suitable installation areas.
