Abstract The distribution of electricity from State Electricity Enterprise does not necessarily reach remote areas, so these areas require alternative sources of electricity, such as solar power plants. This study aims to design and analyze the potential of small-scale off-grid PV in terms of engineering and economics. The research method has used a simulation on PVSyst software with four components, namely solar panels and batteries. The research results were obtained based on four variations made: a 700Wp panel, a 24V 150Ah battery, and an 800W inverter. The design will produce electrical energy of 2 kWh/kWp/day with a total investment value of IDR 54,268,068 for a project period of 24 years. Compared to using a one kVA generator, the investment value was approximately IDR 208,575,063 for a 24-year project. Compared to batteries with the same specifications using a State Electricity Enterprise electricity charging source, the investment value for a 24-year project was IDR 81,036,162. NPV values in all variations obtained < 0, and PBP > the system project period. Thus, this system was considered not economically feasible and did not provide profit. Still, the off-grid solar power plant option was the most profitable than generators or battery power sources with State Electricity Enterprise charging.

After the expiration of governmental incentive measures for renewable energy sources integration, economic feasibility of investing into solar power plants will highly depend on compatibility between production and variable prices. In order to achieve the maximum possible profit of the power plant in liberalized electricity market, it is necessary to consider the possibility of investing in solutions that are not common today, but with the potential of being more profitable in the future. Such a solution is a solar power plant consisting of vertically placed bifacial modules whose active surfaces are oriented in the east-west direction. This configuration of the power plant can achieve higher production in periods of high prices, and thus higher profits from the sale of electricity. On the other hand, such a solution is more expensive than a standard solar power plant with monofacial modules. In this paper, a comparison of return on investment in a bifacial power plant and a monofacial power plant with existing and prospective market conditions is performed. The influence of solar power plant production on the price of electricity was investigated on the example of Germany. Based on this research, a prognostic model of the daily price diagram on the unified European market until 2040 was formed. It served for the analysis of the profitability of investments in the two considered variants of the solar power plant realization.

Vietnam is a country of a great solar potential; solar technology is growing rapidly in Vietnam and investors are very interested in building solar power plants. Construction of the rooftop solar power stations can help owners reduce monthly electricity costs and even get economic benefits by selling excess electricity coming from a solar power plant (PV) to the utility grid. In this study, the design results of a rooftop grid-tied solar power station with the capacity of 26 kWp for a commercial building were introduced to have a basis to assess the operation ability of solar power station under solar radiation conditions in Hanoi city, Vietnam. The simulation results using the PVsyst program have made it possible to calculate the solar energy potential in Hanoi city, the power generation and efficiency of the grid-tied solar power station. Solar power has been applied in Vietnam since the 1990s but is mainly used for areas that were far from national power grid such as mountainous areas, islands. Small scale grid-tied solar power has been developed since 2010 and mainly is used for residential applications or small and medium scale consumers. The total capacity of electricity produced by solar power plants in Vietnam by 2017 was only about 8 MW; this value is very low as compared to the potential of solar power in Vietnam. This is due to the absence of the government support for the policy of developing solar power. In accordance with the current roadmap of raising electricity prices in Vietnam, construction investment of rooftop solar power stations is economically feasible while contributing to environmental protection and counteracting climate change phenomenon by reducing the amount of CO2 emitted into the environment.

There is great potential for generating solar energy using unused space on roofs and vacant lots around buildings. Small amounts of energy generated by each individual household, industrial building, commercial building, or any other type of building can be used to partially meet the needs of the building's residents, and the surplus, if any, can be fed to the grid. To use the existing roof space of buildings, SPV systems on the roof of buildings can be installed to replace DG generators installed to provide the minimum load required to operate during load shedding. TSTU has a large unused roof area from both residential and office buildings. Therefore, it has a huge potential for generating solar energy by installing a grid-connected Solar system on the roof. We can reduce a large amount of bills by implementing a solar power plant. The government has also launched various solar energy incentive schemes, this article provides a brief overview of rooftop photovoltaic and small-scale solar generation systems, and discusses various government schemes. Since TSTU has a large scope for this scheme, so the calculation of the design capacity was made for the technological College and one residential building. A method has been developed for calculating the capacity of Autonomous solar power plants and its elements, which allows us to take into account changes in the load during the day and thereby accurately determine the required capacity of the battery and eliminate unjustified overestimation of the power of power plant elements and increase the cost of the Autonomous solar power plant itself.

Introduction. An urgent scientific problem is to increase the efficiency of using solar energy in solar power plants (SES). The purpose of the article is to study methods for increasing the efficiency of solar power plants. Materials and Methods. Solar power plants based on modules with a two-sided working surface are considered. Most modern solar power plants use solar modules. The reflection of solar radiation from the earth’s surface provides an increase in the production of electrical energy by 20% compared with modules with a working surface on one side. It is possible to increase the efficiency of using solar energy by increasing the annual production of electric energy through the creation of equal conditions for the use of solar energy by the front and back surfaces of bilateral solar modules. Results. The article presents a solar power plant on a horizontal surface with a vertical arrangement of bilateral solar modules, a solar power station with a deviation of bilateral solar modules from a vertical position, and a solar power plant on the southern slope of the hill with an angle β of the slope to the horizon. The formulas for calculating the sizes of the solar energy reflectors in the meridian direction, the width of the solar energy reflectors, and the angle of inclination of the solar modules to the horizontal surface are given. The results of computer simulation of the parameters of a solar power plant operating in the vicinity of Luxor (Egypt) are presented. Discussion and Conclusion. It is shown that the power generation within the power range of 1 kW takes a peak value for vertically oriented two-sided solar modules with horizontal reflectors of sunlight at the installed capacity utilization factor of 0.45. At the same time, when the solar radiation becomes parallel to the plane of vertical solar modules, there is a decrease in the output of electricity. The proposed design allows equalizing and increasing the output of electricity during the maximum period of solar radiation. Vertically oriented modules are reliable and easy to use while saving space between modules.
