Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
The installation of solar PV power plants requires vast land and huge investment. Therefore, it is necessary to select a suitable site to achieve maximum efficiency and low cost. A feasible location of photovoltaic (PV) system must consider certain criteria including land restrictions, access to roads, and transmission lines.
This paper proposed an evaluation method for the site selection of photovoltaic (PV) plants, which used spatial analysis with a geographic information system (GIS) and visualized the plan view of the solar PV plant installations in a building-information model (BIM) environment for energy planning and management when constructing highway networks.
Despite these advantages, research has rarely been conducted on the application of PV power output to site selection, as existing PV power-output estimation is only based on single or a few historical data collected from specific regions (i.e., solar farms) and does not consider topographical effects.
