Are roof-mounted solar PV systems a viable energy source for rural microgrids?

In rural areas, roof-mounted solar PV systems are among the main energy system development targets, and the spatial distribution information of PV power generation is crucial for the construction of rural microgrids.

Are PV panels accepted in rural areas of China?

However, the visual acceptance of PV panels in rural areas of China is not yet fully understood. This study aims to identify and correlate three key influential factors that contribute to the acceptance and appreciation of PV panels in China's rural settings.

How can solar PV be used in rural areas?

The rural annual electricity demand can be satisfied by installing PV modules on all rooftops or facades. Rooftops facing south and north and facades facing south and west have the highest PV potential ranks. They account for more than 80% of the rooftop solar PV potential and over 90% of the facade solar PV potential respectively.

Should north-facing rooftops be neglected in future solar PV evaluations?

North-facing rooftops with a slope of 30° represent 32.7% of the total rooftop solar PV potential, therefore, they should not be neglected in future evaluations. The proposed approach is cost-effective and valid for accurately assessing micro- and macro-scale rural solar PV potential that can facilitate rural renewable energy penetration. 1.
