Countries around the world are undergoing an unprecedented clean energy transformation, where Distributed Energy Generation (DEG) is an increasingly important player to achieve the paradigm shift. Rooftop solar PV (RSPV) represents an increasingly significant option of DEG, especially when...

This document is intended as a guide for international developers and solar investors who are considering investing in Pakistan. The document is laid out as follows: Sections 1 to 3 give an overview of Pakistan and its electricity market, the solar potential and progress in the solar market to...

Improving electricity access in low-income countries is a challenging problem because of the high costs of grid extension and low demand for grid electricity in rural areas. This study elucidates these constraints by analyzing poor households' willingness-to-pay for different types of...

Solar radiation is essentially a free resource available anywhere on Earth, to a greater or lesser extent. Solar PV power plants convert solar radiation into electricity. In the current era of global climate change, PV technology becomes an opportunity for countries and communities to transform...

Floating solar photovoltaic installations open new opportunities for scaling up solar generating capacity, especially in countries with high population density and competing uses for available land. Advantages of floating solar over land-based systems include higher energy yield, reduced...

Achieving global goals for access to energy and mitigation of climate change will require a quadrupling of present levels of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation in the developing world by 2025 to reach around 950 gigawatt (GW)1. This represents an investment of more than US

Solar power generation is an increasingly attractive option for Vietnam thanks to recent cost reductions, fast construction timelines, and the contribution solar power can make to ensuring energy security and environmental sustainability. Aiming to scale up solar generation in a sustainable and...

The purpose of this paper is to help stakeholders to understand key factors driving utility-scale solar PV prices and enable good decision-making conducive to healthy development of solar PV sector globally. This analysis allows us to determine whether recently announced prices are realistic...
