ABSTRACT
The scope of this study has been to examine and evaluate the potential of very large-scale photovoltaic power generation (VLS-PV) systems, which have a capacity ranging from several megawatts (MW) to gigawatts (GW), by identifying the key factors that enable VLS-PV system feasibility and clarifying the benefits of this system’s application to neighbouring regions. The potential contribution to protecting the global environment and to renewable energy utilization in the long term has also been discussed. Before proposing the mid- and long-term scenario options for making VLS-PV systems feasible, this chapter will describe the generalized understandings from Parts I and II.
