37. Which of the following are the major merits of solar PV systems over conventional power systems?

1. The solar PV system can be located at the place of use and hence no or minimum distribution network is required as it is universally available
2. They have wide power handling capabilities from microwatts to Kilowatts or even megawatts
3. These systems are quite compatible with almost all environment responses instantaneously to solar radiation and have a long effective life
4. All of the above

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

The major advantages of Solar PV systems are:

• The solar PV system can be located at the place of use and hence no or minimum distribution network is required as it is universally available
• They have wide power handling capabilities from microwatts to Kilowatts or even megawatts
• These systems are quite compatible with almost all environment responses instantaneously to solar radiation and have a long effective life
