ʻIke ʻia nā pono kumu o nā photovoltaics lana.Ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe o ka heluna kanaka, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā wahi me ka hoʻokūkū ikaika no ka ʻāina i loaʻa, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka holomua o nā photovoltaics lana.ʻO East India kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa.ʻO ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā photovoltaics lana me nā waihona wai nui i kūkulu ʻia no ka hydropower hiki ke hana i nā photovoltaics lana kokoke i nā ʻōnaehana hoʻoili mana e kū nei a i ʻole kokoke i nā kikowaena koi e like me nā mea kanu mālama wai.ʻO kēia kekahi mea maikaʻi e hāpai i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā photovoltaics lana.

Ma muli o ka hopena ʻoluʻolu o ka wai a me ka hoʻemi ʻana o ka lepo, ua loaʻa i nā papahana photovoltaic lana nā pōmaikaʻi i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ikehu.Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka manaʻolana o ke ola o 25 mau makahiki, kōkua kēia mau mea maikaʻi e hōʻemi i ke kumu kūʻai mua me ka solar terrestrial, ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau no 10-15% o ke kumu kūʻai mua.

ʻO ka maʻalahi, hoʻopiha nā photovoltaics lana i ka koi ikehu ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia ka ikehu lā.I kekahi mau wahi, no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ikehu lā o ka honua, pono e loaʻa ka nui o ka ʻāina, ʻo ia ka pilikia.Ma ka hui pū ʻana me nā kumuwaiwai i loaʻa, e like me nā mea kanu wela a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea kanu hydropower, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana mana.
