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.
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.
These restricted zones, which include lakes, reserves, and notably, Lake Malawi, present significant challenges for solar PV installations due to their ecological and conservation value. This discrepancy underscores the need for Malawi to find a balance between preserving its environmental assets and advancing its renewable energy goals.
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.
