Systematic review analyzes critical factors influencing site selection for offshore photovoltaic projects, highlighting key methodologies and implications.
The manuscript adopts the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the methodologies and critical factors influencing the site selection for offshore photovoltaic (PV) projects. The study innovatively proposes a three-stage site selection method model of “exclusion–optimization–correction” and a four-dimensional factor framework, which encompasses “technology, economy, environment, and policy.” The study underscores the pivotal roles of solar radiation, water depth, and grid connection conditions in site selection, while also highlighting the “veto” impact of military exclusion zones and ecological redlines. Additionally, it identifies the challenges associated with data acquisition and standardization in site selection, advocates for the establishment of standardized assessment procedures, and offers theoretical underpinnings and decision-making guidance for the rational site selection of offshore PV projects.
