Bhutan is likely to run into energy deficit if it doesn’t tap into alternative renewable energies like solar energy. The solar energy generation in Bhutan is still in its infancy and if Bhutan could fully utilize that, it could provide considerable source of revenue.
One of the renewable sources of energy that could prove to be a boon to far flung parts of Bhutan as well as viable alternative to hydropower energy is solar energy by which, after much deliberation in the national assembly, its potential has been acknowledged by reduction and doing away with taxes for procuring solar based equipment.
The impact of PV module degradation is also considered, along with PV plant management factors such as curtailment rate, performance ratio and lifetime when determining electricity generation over the system's lifetime.
The environmental impact of PV as seen from the studies in the literature does not only include carbon emissions but also extends to include evaluating the noise pollution coming from mainly the construction phase. Researchers recommended utilizing PV system installations as noise barriers beside highways for example.
Photovoltaics (PVs), the fastest-growing renewable energy source, play a crucial role in decarbonizing global energy systems. However, the intermittent nature of solar PV and transmission line constraints pose challenges to its integration into electricity systems.
The results revealed that the negative environmental impacts of PV systems could be substantially mitigated using optimized design, development of novel materials, minimize the use of hazardous materials, recycling whenever possible, and careful site selection.
