Energy from the Desert: Volume 4

The fourth volume in the established Energy from the Desert series examines and evaluates the potential and feasibility of Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation (VLS-PV) systems, which have capacities ranging from several megawatts to gigawatts, and to develop practical project proposals toward implementing the VLS-PV systems in the future.

It comprehensively analyses all major issues involved in such large scale applications, based on the latest scientific and technological developments by means of close international co-operation with experts from different countries.

From the perspective of the global energy situation, global warming, and other environmental issues, it is apparent that VLS-PV systems can:

contribute substantially to global energy needs

become economically and technologically feasible soon

contribute significantly to global environmental protection

contribute significantly to socio-economic development

This book recognises that very large scale solar electricity generation provides economic, social and environmental benefits, security of electricity supply and fair access to affordable and sustainable energy solutions and that VLS-PV systems must be one of the promising options for large-scale deployment of PV systems and renewable energy technologies.
