Solar PV systems have large potential to produce large amounts of electricity in desert regions such as in Oman. It is proposed to build a very large solar PV system in the Al Sharqiya Desert to supply all of Oman's electricity nee which is about 28 x 109 kW-hr per year. If the average annual solar insolation in the Al Sharqiya Desert is 2400 kW-hr/m² per year, and assuming a solar ce efficiency of 20% and a system efficiency of 65%, А. What total PV area is required? В. If Al Sharqiya Desert has an area of 1.25 x 1010 m², what percentage of the desert will have to be covered with solar PV?
