Should we implement PV solar system in Kuwait?
Furthermore, it will mitigate the image of oil exporting countries excessive and irrational consumption of fossil fuel. Hence, based on this preliminary analysis the study recommends the implementation of PV solar system in Kuwait in order to diversify sources of energy.
Is solar energy feasible in Kuwait?
It was found that the positive characteristics of solar radiation in Kuwait play a critical role in enhancing the feasibility of implementing solar systems. Under the present price of 5$/W and 15% efficiency, the LCOE of a 1 MW station is estimated to be around $0.20/kWh. This LCOE can be feasible only when the cost of oil is around 100$/barrel.
How much does electricity cost in Kuwait?
As indicated in , the cost of producing electricity in Kuwait is around 0.12 $/kWh estimated at $50 per barrel of oil. The energy cost component constitutes around 68% of total cost, and the remaining costs include depreciation, operation and maintenance.
How can photovoltaic & concentrate solar power help Kuwait?
Recognizing both the environmental and climatic hazards to be faced in the coming decades and the continued depletion of the world’s most valuable fossil energy resources, Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrate Solar Power (CSP) can provide critical solutions to electricity supply in Kuwait within relatively short time frame.
How can a PV solar system save money?
The savings in terms of energy resourced (oil) can be either sold in the global energy market for higher returns, or be saved for future generation. The opportunity cost of using fossil fuel in producing electricity should be accounted for in order to determine the economic profit of PV solar systems.
How much money is invested in solar energy?
The total corporate funding in the global solar sector saw an 11% increase year-on-year at $109.4 billion in the first half of . More than $2.6 trillion has been invested in renewable energy over the past decade.
With an initial cost of $3,277.88 for a 1.4 kW solar system installation, annual maintenance costs of $140, and neglecting the 93 % subsidy provided by the Kuwait government on the cost of electricity, a cost analysis was conducted using the annual energy saving of 852 kWh/year for the solar system
