A Case Study on PV System Performance and LCOE of 15.6 kW Hybrid
Abstract: This paper presents long term performance analysis of 15.6 kW hybrid solar photovoltaic system installed at College of Science and Technology, Rinchending, Bhutan. Data for one year from Photovoltaic hybrid system is collected and analysed. Losses due to shading are also analyzed and found that shading affects only in winter.

Is grid-tied solar a viable alternative energy source in Bhutan?
The commissioning and inauguration of the 180kW grid-tied ground mounted solar photo-voltaic power plant marks the start of Bhutan’s investment in grid-tied solar energy as a viable alternative energy source in the face of soaring domestic demand and climate change.
Who inaugurated a solar photo-voltaic power plant in Bhutan?
The Chairperson of the National Council of Bhutan, Lyonpo Tashi Dorji, inaugurated the 180kW grid-tied ground mounted Solar Photo-Voltaic Power Plant at Rubesa, Wangdue Phodrang on October 4, 2021.
Can solar power plants help Bhutan achieve energy security?
The Solar Plant in Rubesa is one such initiative that takes Bhutan a step closer to achieving energy security through a diversified and sustainable energy supply mix. The project particularly demonstrates the viability of solar power plants on a utility-scale.
What are Bhutan's upcoming solar projects?
He added that those involved would greatly benefit and take part in Bhutan’s upcoming solar projects. One imminent project is the construction of Bhutan’s first mega solar power plant, a 17MW plant in Sephu, Wangdue. Today, all of Bhutan’s electricity generation is from renewables such as hydropower, wind, and solar.
Will Bhutan build a mega solar power plant?
One imminent project is the construction of Bhutan’s first mega solar power plant, a 17MW plant in Sephu, Wangdue. Today, all of Bhutan’s electricity generation is from renewables such as hydropower, wind, and solar. However, 78 percent of the country’s energy consumption is supplied by fossil fuels, largely for transportation purposes.
How much solar power does Bhutan have?
Director of the Department of Renewable Energy (DRE), Phuntsho Namgyal, said that Bhutan was endowed with 12,000 megawatts (MW) of solar power potential. He added that today, a negligible percentage (next to zero) of solar energy is tapped.
