How big is the Zagtouli solar power plant?
It spans an approximate area of 60 ha. The Zagtouli solar power plant is the first milestone in a vast program to develop solar energy production in Burkina Faso to supply more than 150 MW of solar energy to the Burkina Faso grid (around 30% of the country’s total production).
Who provided data from the Zagtouli photovoltaic power plant?
The authors wish to thank the German state for financial support through the DAAD Scholarship and the National Electricity Company of Burkina Faso (SONABEL) for providing data from the Zagtouli photovoltaic power plant. No financial support was received for this study. All authors contributed to the study conception and design.
Can large-scale PV systems be used in the desert?
The first studies compared mono-Si, a-Si, and CdTe systems of large-scale PV systems in the desert. These studies show that in desert areas, from an environmental point of view, the energy payback time (EPBT) is 2–3 years, and the carbon emission rate is 17–23 g CO 2 -eq kWh −1.
Does a large-scale PV system in Malaysia use cradle-to-grave irradiation?
Recently, the primary energy consumption and environmental performance of a large-scale PV system (37.57 MW) installed in Malaysia were evaluated by Mohd Nordin et al. through the LCA tool. A cradle-to-grave approach was considered, assuming a 30 years lifetime and an irradiation rate of 1950 kWh m −2 yr −1.
Do PV modules consume a lot of fossil fuels?
This consumption of fossil energy confirms the high carbon emission of PV modules. Furthermore, Zahedi et al. have also demonstrated that polycrystalline module technologies consume 2.5 times more fossil fuels than thin-film technologies during the production process.
Do PV systems have a life cycle assessment?
Numerous studies on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of PV systems have been carried out in the literature [7, 8, 9, 10]. These studies have mainly focused on small (1–100 kWp) and medium-sized (100 kWp–1 MWp) stand-alone PV installations.
