Rooftop solar PV in Bhutan: A systemic analysis of feed-in-tariff

Bhutan has an average solar irradiation of about 4.2 kWh/m 2 /d and solar irradiance of about 0.75 W/m 2. However, district-wise solar radiation and irradiance data will be used for approximation purposes. Thus, the approximation for national rooftop solar PV potential is closer to the actual measured value.
