Solar power generation by PV (photovoltaic) technology: A review
For the generation of electricity in far flung area at reasonable price, sizing of the power supply system plays an important role. Photovoltaic systems and some other renewable energy systems are, therefore, an excellent choices in remote areas for low to medium power levels, because of easy scaling of the input power source [6], [7].The main attraction of the PV
Assessment of concentrated solar power (CSP) generation
This research aims to identify wet-cooled CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) solar power plants connected to the existing electricity grid in Cameroon. This study uses a hybrid approach which combines an MDCM-AHP method (Multi-Criteria Analysis Method – Hierarchical Analysis Process) and a GIS (Geographic Information System). The elements studied are the climate

Optimal integration of photovoltaic power into the electricity
In addition, PV energy reduces CO2 production by the amount of non-renewable energy it replaces, and is therefore called "clean and safe" energy. As a result, solar PV production has increased by 22% (+ 131 TWh) and represents the second largest absolute production growth of all renewable technologies, slightly behind wind and ahead of hydro.
