Technical FAQs 4

Is solar energy available in Libya?

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.

What is the largest solar project in Libya?

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.

When was solar photovoltaics used in Libya?

The solar photovoltaics (PV) was used in Libya back in the 1970s; the application areas power loads of small remote systems such as rural electrification systems, communication repeaters, cathodic protection for oil pipelines and water pumping (Asheibi et al., 2016).

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 required rate across the country (Hewedy et al., 2017). Based on that from a techno-economics point-view, there is a need to develop substantial energy resource solutions.
