Alazraki and Haselip studied the impact of PV systems installed by an energy project in homes, schools and public buildings over last six years.
They showed that this attempt has given an opportunity for rural communities to receive electricity by replacing traditional energy sources.
Zhou et al. worked on solar chimney power plant to make economic analysis of its power generation by using cash flows during the whole service period of 100 MW power plant.
Muneer et al. studied long term prospects of large scale PV generation in arid and semiarid locations around the world and its transmission using hydrogen as the energy vector.
Cunow and Giesler investigated advance large MW PV plant technology at the new Munich Trade Fair Center, in terms of system technology, the components employed for operation, control and cost aspects.
They compared renewable generators with non-renewable generators by determining their life cycle cost using net present value analysis.
They showed that life cycle cost of PV energy is lower than the cost of energy from generators driven by either petrol or diesel and thus is economically feasible in such areas.
