Technical FAQs 4

Is Malawi suitable for solar energy?

Solar resource assessment The analysis of Malawi's solar energy potential revealed significant seasonal and regional variations in solar irradiance, essential for understanding its suitability for solar energy systems.

What is the average solar energy output in Malawi?

In Malawi, the annual average peak GHI is 1106.45 W/m 2 with average daily energy inflow at 6.76 kWh/m 2 /day. Solar potential peaks in October (1179.75 W/m 2, 8.17 kWh/m 2 /day) and is lowest in June (998.85 W/m 2, 5.61 kWh/m 2 /day). The average annual diffuse fraction is 10.61 %, suggesting low aerosol interference.

When is the best time to install solar power in Malawi?

During summer months, such as January, increased cloud cover and rainfall result in higher diffuse fractions, which can impact the overall efficiency of solar energy systems. Overall, Malawi has substantial solar energy potential, with high-GHI months such as October and September being optimal for PV power generation.

Are solar PV resources available in Malawi?

This study's assessment of solar PV resources in Malawi, while thorough, acknowledges certain limitations: it encompasses a relatively short two-year simulation period and omits a financial analysis of solar PV implementation.
