Notes

  1. 1.

    This chapter is based on A. J. Veldhuis and A. H. M. E. Reinders, ā€œReviewing the potential and cost-effectiveness of grid-connected solar PV in Indonesia on a provincial level,ā€ Renew. Sustain. Energy Rev., vol. 27, pp. 315ā€“324, 2013 [1], and A. J. Veldhuis and A. H. M. E. Reinders, ā€œReviewing the potential and cost-effectiveness of off-grid PV systems in Indonesia on a provincial level,ā€ Renew. Sustain. Energy Rev., vol. 52, pp. 757ā€“769, Aug. 2015 [2].

  2. 2.

    In 2012 the northern part of the province of East Kalimantan has formed its own province: North Kalimantan. However, most publicly available data is still only available for the former province of East Kalimantan, therefore we will use the data of the former province for the whole area, including North Kalimantan as well.

  3. 3.

    Data based on monthly averaged values per latitude/longitude grid cell for a 22-year period (July 1983ā€“June 2005).

  4. 4.

    A peak sun hour is defined as 1Ā kW/m2.
