Analysis of options for small solar power plants for the Republic of Khakassia of the Russian Federation

The analysis of electricity tariffs for consumers of the Republic of Khakassia of the Russian Federation has been performed. Tariffs for the population are quite low. The use of small solar power plants for private residential buildings is inexpedientl due to the long payback period. Tariffs for legal entities and organizations are much higher than for the population and have a steady upward trend. The main consumption of electricity by such consumers occurs during daylight hours. That is much in line with the energy generation by solar panels. It is concluded that calculations are necessary to determine the expedience of using small solar power plants for this group of consumers. The classification of the types of low-power solar power plants is given, their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted, and the area of application is shown. The results of the comparative analysis of three types of small solar power plants for a state facility of the Republic of Khakassia are presented. The expediency of using small network solar power plants without electric storage batteries with a limitation of the power supplied to the network was substantiated.
