The advantage of the island is the number of different renewable energypotentials. The cost of electricity on the island is $0.39 kWh.1) Using solar radiation photovoltaic technologies, it was estimated that 500 rooftops, with a total surface area of 456 000 m2 will be available to install the photovoltaic panels. Assume that the solar panels actually cover 90% of the available surface area. Given, the size of a standard photovoltaic cell is 156 mm by 156 mm and for a silicon photovoltaic cell, each PV cellproduces a current of 2.5 A at a voltage of 0.5 V. The average daily irradiance for the island is 185 W/m2. Assume the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a yearly basis of the photovoltaic system, that covers, 90% of the available surface area is US$600 000 and the annual operating cost is US $5…arrow_forward
