0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Renewable energy is being seen as a transformative solution to meet energy as well as economic challenges at national as well as at a global level. The Government of India has expressed its intent to achieve 100 GW of solar capacity in the country by 2020. However, one such state that lags in harnessing and achieving the solar targets is the state of Jammu and Kashmir despite having the second highest potential of solar energy. Jammu and Kashmir is a power deficit state though it has one of the best potentials in solar energy. Solar rooftop PV systems can solve most of the problems regarding power deficit, but yet people are naïve about solar rooftop PV systems. The purpose of this study is to perform stakeholder analysis to investigate the perceptions of the groups/individuals regarding grid connected solar rooftop PV systems. They have a critical impact on the result of the study as they provide fundamental data on the political, social and economic scenario of any study area. The findings from the investigation underscores that all the projects and programs related to the adoption of a solar rooftop system should concentrate on building awareness.

Assessing residential solar rooftop potential in Saudi Arabia using nighttime satellite images: a study for the city of Riyadh / Lopez-Ruiz, Hector G   Journal Article
Lopez-Ruiz, Hector G Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Saudi National Renewable Energy Program aims to substantially increase the share of renewable energy in the Kingdom's power generation mix. This study explores the extent to which solar rooftop deployment at the residential scale in Riyadh, could be cost-efficient and could accelerate decarbonization of in Saudi Arabia. This study found that the maximum aggregate solar power capacity in Riyadh at the residential level would be around 400 MW. Also, the current residential electricity tariff does not incentivize photovoltaic (PV) solar rooftop deployment. Despite an increase in Saudi residential electricity prices in January 2018, rooftop solar PV cannot compete with electricity from the grid, even assuming aggressive reductions in the investment cost of solar technology.
