rooftop solar storage cost vs benefit calculation in Libya
Are solar PV systems a good investment in Libya?In Libya, the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are encouraging for the future, due to incident solar radiation is greater than the minimum
Solar energy by far is the most available in Libya as the average sunlight hours is about 3200 hours/year and the average solar radiation is approximately 6 kwh/m2/day. This paper aims mainly to discuss the feasibility of solar energy in Libya, a brief overview of solar global jobs and the global cost of PV systems during the last decade.
According to the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya that about 1.2 million solar panels will be used in the project to generate up 152 TWh per year. It is planned that the implementation of the strategic project to reach 25 percent of the generation capacity during the year 2022 .
In 2003 the installation of solar PV systems to some rural areas started in Libya . The installation was achieved by the Centre of Solar Energy studies (CSES) and General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) with a total power of around 345 KWp. PV systems supplied villages, isolated houses, police stations and street lighting areas .
Sadada area is about 280 km south east of Tripoli . This plant will be the largest solar project in Libya with the latest technological application in the field of solar energy. According to the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya that about 1.2 million solar panels will be used in the project to generate up 152 TWh per year.
