Question: Calculate the Solar Energy potential (GWh) that can be generated on Annual Basis if 50,000km2of the area of Jordan was covered with Solar PV modules. List your assumptions: Solar PV estimated generation = 2GWh/MWp Each 1MWp will need = 10,000m2 Cost of fossil fuel to generate electricity in Jordan = 1000 million JD/year Annual Electricity Generated in Jordan = 20,000 GWh Required Calculate Solar Energy potential by Dividing the Electricity generated from PV over 50,000km2 / Annual Electricity Generated? You are going to Build a Solar PV Plant to cover the Annual Electricity Needs of Jordan What is the Size of the plant? Calculate Present Value (P), if the cost of the 1MWp = 500,000JD.
