Performance Analysis of Renewable Energy Resources in Rural Areas: A Case Study of Solar Energy

Jackson J. Justo, Aviti Thadei Mushi · 2020 · Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology

Summary. This paper analyzes solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems in rural Tanzania, comparing their costs and energy storage capabilities. The authors examine how ambient temperature affects solar module performance and model how cell surface temperature and module orientation influence power generation. They also evaluate solar axis tracking as a method to increase output. The study focuses on Tanzania's coastal region as a case study for harnessing solar irradiance in rural areas.
