Cost Analysis of a 500kWh Photovoltaic Energy Storage Unit in Benin

4 FAQs about Cost Analysis of a 500kWh Photovoltaic Energy Storage Unit in Benin

Are solar PV projects feasible in Benin?

This study considers a 10.0 MW grid-tied system in seven different regions to evaluate the feasibility of solar PV projects in Benin. Grid-connected solar PV systems have two main components: the PV array and the inverter. The connection to the national grid is done using appropriate inverters that must be carefully selected (Etier et al., 2015).

How much does a photovoltaic power plant cost in Benin?

Photovoltaic power plants' levelized cost of energy ranges from 0.11 USD/kWh to 0.125 USD/kWh. Incentives and subsidies could lower the levelized cost of energy and increase solar photovoltaic investment in Benin. About 60.0% of Benin's population currently lacks access to reliable electricity to perform their daily activities.

Can solar power improve living standards in Benin?

The Benin Republic has abundant solar energy resource, which could be harnessed efficiently to increase its access rate to electricity and improve living standards. This study evaluates the techno-economic viability of installing a 10.0 MW utility-scale grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) system in seven cities located in Benin.

Could incentives and subsidies increase solar PV investment in Benin?

The findings show that incentives and subsidies could lower the LCOE and increase solar PV investment in Benin. Investing in utility-scale PV systems could help Benin increase its electricity access rate and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions for sustainable development.
