    FAQs about Cape Verde photovoltaic container substation installation process

    Who makes mega solar power plants in Cabo Verde?

    Based on the above contents, Table 8.1-1 and Table 8.1-2 show lists of the equipment at the two mega solar power plants in Cabo Verde. The manufacturer in both cases is Marifer Solar Co. of Portugal. First, description is given of the solar power generation equipment in Santiago (hereafter referred to as Santiago mega solar).

    How much space do solar panels need in Cabo Verde?

    In Japan, the necessary area for installation of mega solar equipment is said to be 10~15 m2 per kW. Since this takes the effects of shadows from adjacent solar panels into account, in Cabo Verde, which has a lower latitude than Japan, the optimum angle of solar panels is smaller than in Japan, which means that less area is needed for installation.

    Are there solar power plants in Cabo Verde?

    Concerning solar power generation equipment in Cabo Verde, two mega solar power plants were constructed and went into operation in 2010 on Santiago Island and Sal Island respectively utilizing funds from the Government of Portugal. These plants have rated output of 4.28MW and 2.14MW respectively, making them smaller than wind power plants.

    How much solar radiation is in Cabo Verde?

    Figure 8.3-1 shows the map of global solar radiation in Cabo Verde. According to the official gazette, solar radiation of 1,800~2,000 kWh/m2 per year can be anticipated in almost all parts of Cabo Verde.

    Should Cabo Verde use wind power instead of photovoltaics?

    JICA Study Team recommends, instead of photovoltaics that will be relatively expensive, wind power as a renewable power source, since Cabo Verde has ample experience operating wind power, wind power offers both quality and quantity in conformity with the grid code, and output is relatively level and easy to utilize.

    What is an example of a water conversion plant in Cabo Verde?

    A primitive example is the introduction of electric water heaters and thermal/cool storage with timing switch to turn during light-load hours (i.e., midnight and daytime). Another idea, for Cabo Verde that depends raw water on desalination, is the scheduled operation of water conversion plant.
