Get a quoteIn 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.
Libya has a great opportunity to build large-scale solar photovoltaic power. For the scholars, it's considered as an entrant, which can help to develops and adopt this technology. This paper will be valuable as it is a one-step approach for the development of solar photovoltaics application in Libya.
(Kassem et al., 2020) performed a study analysis of the potential and viability of generating electricity from a 10 MW solar plant grid-connected in Libya. The consequences of that study indicate that Libya has a massive potential of solar energy can be utilised to generate electricity.
A study performed by (Aldali and Ahwide, 2013) proposed analysis of installing a 50 MW solar photovoltaic power plant PV-grid connected with a tracking system in Libya. Solar PV modules of 200 W are used in that study due to its high conversion efficiency.
The PV system for electricity in the Libyan market is estimated to cost about “5–13,000” Libyan/denars (this price from private business companies); depending on the size/capacity that invested by the private sector.
Also, the Centre for Solar Energy Research and Studies (CSERS) in Libya, is one of the research institutions work to develop such technology. 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).
