Integrating geographic information systems (GIS), this paper proposes a new spatial optimization problem, the maximal PV panel coverage
How to make the best use of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system has received much attention in recent years. Integrating geographic information systems (GIS), this paper proposes a new spatial optimization problem, the maximal PV panel coverage problem (MPPCP), for solar PV panel layout design. Suitable installation areas are first delineated in GIS.
However, in the PV panel layout problem, a facility corresponds to a two -dimensional PV panel that occupies a certain amount of area. For areas that are already occupied by a PV panel, no other PV panels should be placed. Second, conventional maximal covering models mainly focus on identifying the optimal facility sit es.
In this study, a solar PV panel could be sited almost anywhere on a rooftop, and sunlight is continuously distributed across an unshaded area. The PV panel spati al layout p roblem is then a continuous space location problem. Such a problem is often more challenging to formulate and solve [42,43]. A common strategy relies upon continuous spa ce
Layout design maximizes the energy production potential of a solar PV system. The new method has been applied to identify the optimal panel layout on a rooftop. Flexible panel alignments increase the maximal energy production by up to 6%. Model 1 is more computational tractable requiring less problem-solving time.
