Key Factors for Successful PV Development
Suitable locationland type, location, infrastructure
Capable developerdeveloper expertise, resources and experience
Supporting industryfinancial institutions, contractors and service providers
Fostering environmentgovt. support, policy framework
7Canadian Solar Inc.
Key Factor #1: Suitable Location
1. Site SelectionSuitability for solar
- High solar irradiation – satellite and local weather database
- Local conditions, no shading
Infrastructure issues
- Accessibility to site
- Grid connection to evacuate power
- Shipping and logistics
Land issues
- Previous land use – overgrown fauna, previous crops
- Geopolitical risks
- Encumbrances – indigenous species, tenants, religious site
Feasibility for construction
- Available area - Slope and shape
- Natural disasters – flooding, earthquake, soil erosion
8Canadian Solar Inc.
Key Factor #1: Suitable Location - Good vs Bad Sites
Land Hills
Heavy vegetation
Very remote
Difficult to access
Grid ConnectionMassive HV power towers
Small and old power lines
Land Flat and open
No shading
Not flood prone
No mountains close
Grid ConnectionEasy access with roads
Infrastructure partly available
Less than 500m to PV power plant
GOOD BAD
9Canadian Solar Inc.
Key Factor #1: Suitable Location - Good vs Bad Sites
