The 41 solar PV systems installed at wastewater treatment plants ranged from a minimum capacity of 12 kW to a maximum of 4.2 MW, with an average installation of 0.86 MW. The most commonly installed Solar PV system was 1 MW, installed in 34% of the cases.
The wastewater treatment plant treating 165 MGD with a 4.2 MW solar system installed was the biggest plant with a solar PV installation. However, this plant presented unique conditions, which made it non-representative of global practices.
Detailed review of solar PV uptake in wastewater treatment. Identification of key influence of plant size in current solar PV use. 1 MW is the most popular size of solar PV system installed. In plants with flow rate above 5 MGD solar PV is installed with anaerobic digestion.
Across all the plants analysed, 1 MW was the most adopted solar installation size and solar PV installations were mostly found in wastewater treatment plants in rural settings.
