What are the applications of solar energy in Tunisia?

The applications of solar energy in Tunisia are diverse. Solar PV systems are increasingly installed in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to generate electricity. Large-scale solar farms, such as the Tozeur photovoltaic plant, feed into the national grid, enhancing energy availability.

Can Tunisia harness solar energy?

Abstract: Solar energy holds immense potential for Tunisia, a country blessed with abundant sunshine. With an average of over 3,000 hours of sunlight annually, Tunisia is ideally positioned to harness solar power to meet its energy demands sustainably.

Does Tunisia have solar energy?

Solar energy has great potential on the African continent. On average, Tunisia has solar resources of over 3,000 hours/year, with some regions enjoying more sunshine than others. Most regions in the south of the country have more than 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, with peaks of 3,400 hours a year in the Gulf of Gabès (south-east).

Who is building TuNur solar power in Tunisia?

Currently, the British group NurEnergie (Figure 5) is planning to build the 4.5 GW TuNur solar power project in the governorate of Kebili, an integrated solar energy project linking Tunisia's sunny desert to European electricity markets.

Does Tunisia have a power grid?

Tunisia’s national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia’s power consumption in the first half of 2023. Moreover, in August 2023, Tunisia’s sub-sea connection project with Italy, called ELMED, was approved for $337 million funding from the European Commission.

When was photovoltaic installed in Tunisia?

The very first photovoltaic installation, at HammamBiadha (Siliana governorate), dates back to 1980, with a capacity of 30kWp. Subsequently, a 2MWp photovoltaic park was created to electrify certain rural areas. The Tunisian government is encouraging investment in the photovoltaic sector by covering 30% of the investment costs.
