Standalone Photovoltaic (PV) Systems for Disaster Relief and Remote Areas explores the
increased demand for energy including clean energy alternatives and the ways that solar energy
is fast becoming a vital source for meeting peak demand a solution for energy demand in
disaster and remote areas and a viable source to meet emerging energy security needs. The book
provides a detailed overview of PV systems and applications for disaster and remote areas and
includes a guide on how to provide electricity during outages along with important discussions
on the need for increasing the resilience of the grid. The differences and requirements for
standalone mobile and portable PV systems are discussed along with how systems can be
deployed transported and used in remote areas. In addition the book discusses the use of
solar PV systems to create environmentally friendly power systems for remote communities that
can be operated independently also comparing the costs emissions and practical applications
of other technologies.
