development in Spain.<br />

Applicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

The typical applicati<strong>on</strong>s of solar energy systems are illustrated in Fig. 5.11. Off<br />

grid PV systems are typically in the range between few W and up to 100 kW.<br />

Grid c<strong>on</strong>nected PV systems are typically in the range between few kW and up to<br />

10-20 MW. Solar thermal power plants are <strong>on</strong>ly relevant where the solar insolati<strong>on</strong><br />

is high. According the Fig. 6.11 solar thermal power is applicable in <strong>Oman</strong><br />

having a solar insolati<strong>on</strong> of about 2200 kWh/m2 per year. It also appears that<br />

solar thermal plants are preferred <strong>for</strong> large capacity.<br />
