Exploration of Solar Energy in Papua New Guinea through Remote Sensing and GIS| Chapter 2 | Current Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 8

 Climatology and weather forecasting are essentially driven apiece incoming energy from the sun and the latter’s latitudinal distribution. In the current climate change synopsis, every country with its own government is looking forward to taking control of allure greenhouse emissions as a alleviation measure. Rapid exploitation of energy from undepletable source and energy competence have winded up in significant strength safety and self-reliance for the nonrenewable energy importing countries, other than climate change alleviation and economic benefits. The availability of energy from the sun data is essential in order to judge the potential of renewable energy alternatives such as photovoltaic power creation capability in a expanding economy like Papua New Guinea. Over the past few decades, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has knowing an increase in electrification and the usage of tenable energy. The largeness of PNG's population (85%) lives in unique and dispersed villages in country areas. Most of these isolated and scattered areas are still yet expected connected to an power supply. Installation of rooftop solar panels can easily produce electricity outside affecting the environment in the city district or isolated village extent situated from the main infrastructure. In a specified latitudinal wilderness, the topography is a main factor that determines the geographical distribution of insolation. Spatial instability of topographic elevation, slope, facet, and shadows influence the amount of insolation received at various point locations. The variation in arriving solar radiation over room and time for power production using photovoltaic panels too warrants proper feasibility appraisal before investment. In this scenario, energy from the sun modeling is tried in this paper to map and analyse the belongings of the sun over a terrestrial area for specific opportunity periods. Different parameters that are mandatory, like climatic condition, latitudinal position, elevation, slope and facet, sun angle, and topographic shadows are taken into give reason for the modeling purpose. This research is again an initiation to identify potential ceiling-tops for solar panel installation. Therefore, data processing machine-level solar radiation posing is attempted using the extreme-resolution topographic table.
