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.
The availability of localized solar irradiance data enables the analysis of site-specific solar energy potential, making Malawi an ideal case for exploring the feasibility and optimization of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
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.
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.
