| Summary: | This paper proposes to enhance the execution requirements of the solar
photovoltaic (PV) street lighting system in Kuwait. A strength, weakness,
opportunity and threat (SWOT) analysis was performed to recognise the
elements needed for feasibility analysis followed by analysing the
economic and environmental viability. The cost analysis shows that in a
year, 18,770,072.56 m3 of natural gas and 4,939,492.779 gallons of fossil
fuel can be saved from the installation. Hence, the cost of lowering
carbon dioxide (CO2) is directly proportional to the cost of conserved
energy resources since emissions from generation stations are reduced
by 132,37vc8,406 kg of CO2. The payback period of 3 years and price
decrease ratio of 13% shows that this system is economically and
environmentally viable. |
