6 FAQs about [Integrated solar pv Uganda]

How much does a solar PV system cost in Uganda?

Uganda's FiT is $0.362/kWh for solar PV technology. For the system without an optimizer, the LCOE was $0.257/kWh with a payback period of 4.6 years. For Indonesia, the FiT is $0.3/kWh for solar PV technology. The LCOE for the system with the optimizer was $0.278/kWh with a payback period of 13.1 years.

Can solar panels be installed on rooftops in Uganda and Indonesia?

From the energy yield estimation (stage 1) and advanced system analysis (stage 2), the results were obtained to identify the optimal scenario of the PV arrangement to be fitted on the rooftops in Uganda and Indonesia. The parameters used were maintained as strictly as possible to the actual scenario.

How much solar power does Uganda have?

There is a potential solar electricity capacity of 200 MW in Uganda (Hashemi and Cruickshank, 2015). In Indonesia, particularly in Jakarta, slums still exist and these places are typically called “kampung” by the locals.

Is solar energy a viable option for low-cost housing in Uganda?

With respect to achieving sustainable low-cost housing, solar energy has significant potential in Uganda. A study by Hashemi and Cruickshank indicated that Uganda has approximately 8 sun hours per day with a solar insolation of 5–6 kWh/m 2 /day. There is a potential solar electricity capacity of 200 MW in Uganda (Hashemi and Cruickshank, 2015).

What factors encourage solar PV installation in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, the intrinsic factor that encourages the installation of solar PVs is the local demand for energy for housing, and the installation of solar PVs in low-cost homes can address this challenge. The extrinsic factor that encourages solar PV installation is the adoption of green energy in consumers’ lifestyles.

How do solar PV systems work in Indonesia?

There are two solar PV schemes in Indonesia: the local tariff regulation that targets the developers to inject solar farm systems, and the latest one, which provides consumers an opportunity to contribute to the grid by installing solar PV systems in their homes.
