Learn MoreRESULT AND CONCLUSION After applying all the criteria, “Green region” was found as most suitable area for solar PV power plant. The green region is nearby location of Jaisalmer which is situated at 26.920N, 70.9000E with the maximum summer temperature of 430C with largest area of 180.27×106 m2 in the region.
Area required by Solar power plants, be it rooftop or ground mounted is pretty significant. While solar power has some critical sustainability advantages over fossil-based thermal power (coal or natural gas based), one of the key drawbacks of solar is that it recovers energy from a relatively diffuse energy source, sunlight.
The area which is situated at 26.920N, 70.9000E with the maximum summer temperature of 430C hasbeen chosen as most suitable site for SPV plant in Rajasthan 1. INTRODUCTION
Geographically, Rajasthan is uniquely placed to tap solar radiation with 300 to 330 clear sunny days and average daily solar incidence of 5-7 kWh/m2/day. The total deserted area in the state is 208110 km2 and 60% of the land is arid and semi-arid. Large amount of it is contiguous, relatively flat and undeveloped .
Solar power can be a land-hungry competitor to farming. But deployed in the right way, solar installations can boost crop yields, save water, and protect biodiversity. Land is a finite resource, facing huge demands from a growing population that clamors for living space and food.
