Canal-top PV for Afghanistan's massive irrigation project

A team of scientists has simulated covering 20% of the Qush-Tepa irrigation canal with PV panels. To this end, the researchers developed a framework, termed an integrated techno-economic-environmental assessment, that can be applied elsewhere. "It explicitly quantifies energy production, water-evaporation reduction, land-use savings, and economic performance within a single analytical structure," one of the researchers said.A research group from Japan and Afghanistan has conducted a techno-environmental and economic assessment of a canal-top PV (CTPV) system on Afghanistan's Qush-Tepa irrigation ...
