Study of problems and methods for improving installation process of ground – mounted solar power generation systems

Abstract

Nowadays, electricity rates and variable electricity rates tend to increase continuously, causing higher costs for various businesses. The solution that most entrepreneurs are interested in is installing solar power generation systems, which can be installed in 2 types: ground-mounted and rooftop-mounted. This research aims to study problems and improvement methods in installation of ground – mounted solar power generation systems by gathering data on problems in the installation of completed power generation systems by gathering work reports, observing, and interviewing people who involved in this project. which is divided into 4 stages: 1. Determining project requirements and studying feasibility, 2. Designing and planning the project, 3. Construction or installation period, and 4. Closing the project. The results are analyzed to find the causes and improve the process of installing a new power generation system. The process with the most problems in installation is the construction and installation period, which is caused by the application for permission from relevant agencies, including the steps of preparing the area and equipment for installation. This creates significant impacts in terms of time and increased costs. After gathering data, analyzing the problems that occurred, and applying the results, it was found that the project implementation period reduced by 11.24 percent. This analysis will be useful for improving the process in the future for similar projects and help to increase the efficiency of planning and execution.
