Factors affecting to the photovaltalic systems productivity in Vietnam

Abstract

The exploding development of renewable energy in the recent years is the common trend in the energy industry on over the world, the wind and solar power are considered as the most potential resources and easy to exploit. Viet Nam energy industry is not out of this trend. Although the number of wind and solar plants are rapidly increasing nowadays, the number of studies and articles in this field is fewer than its ability, especially in term of affecting factors in the productivity, the success of a photovoltaic project. In this situation, the researchers has studied and explored the factors affecting to the productivity of a solar plant and the the impact of these factors. Based on the previous studies and articles which have been published on over the world, the researchers has also interviewed the experts in the renewable energy, solar energy, construction management field and the solar energy investors in Viet Nam, the article has find 37 factors affecting to the productivity of a solar plant. The research result has shown some features namely: The ability to meet the power grid in the locality, The intensity of the light and the radiation intensity is emitted by the solar energy, The authorities policy (FiT price, taxes, permission), The plant location, The hours of sunshine during the day times, The conversion efficiency of panels.
