Electrification of rural villages in Myanmar with photovoltaic solar energy on the basis of GIS data

Abstract

In order to be effective and optimal solar installation, especially for site selection, there are lots of things to be consider such as technical, economic, social situations, etc. For the purpose of electrification of rural villages in Myanmar with photovoltaic solar energy, using the geographic information system (GIS) is a lot helpful. According to transportation network, we can make a category," Hard to reach villages" and again power line data can also decide which villages will be priority. Then according to population density, we can decide the size of the installation.
