This work proposes a method which can provide a rational area estimate of a PV plant factoring sizing considerations from electrical, maintenance, and shading aspects.
This work proposes a method which can provide a rational area estimate of a PV plant factoring sizing considerations from electrical, maintenance, and shading aspects. The idea for the plant design is inspired by the number pattern illustrated in the Ulam spiral. Further, this report provides insights with respect to land area requirements across the latitudinal spread for India. Also, it provides an estimate of the solar power potential for ground mounted utility scale plants in India.
