In a real case study, a solar photovoltaic system in Somalia achieved a performance ratio of 70.8%. Recommendations have been provided to increase the utilization of solar energy in Somalia. Based on the extensive review conducted by the authors, no previous study has been performed on the solar energy potential in Somalia.
When planning and implementing solar projects in Somalia, it is essential to consider these factors and their potential impact on the project's success. To ensure the success of a solar energy project from an economic point of view, it is essential to evaluate its financial viability and reliability beforehand.
This study explores Somalia's energy profile and the potential for harnessing solar energy. The installed photovoltaic capacity was found to be 41 MW and contributed 11.9% of the total electricity generation. A case study on a solar power microgrid system in Bacadweyene, Somalia, is also presented.
Energy supply Somalia's energy capacity is around 344 MW, mainly generated from imported diesel fuel. However, some ESPs have installed grid-connected solar PV systems. In Table 3, Energy supply and tariffs in the Federal Member States have seen a 36% yearly increase in the past six years.
