6 FAQs about [Digital solar energy Palestine]
What is the future of solar energy in Palestine?
Solar energy can be a major contributor to the future Palestinian energy supply, with its high potential in the area. Palestine receives about 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and has an average solar radiation of 5.4 kWh/m. Domestic solar water heating (SWH) is widely used in Palestine where almost 70% of houses and apartments have such systems.
Is solar energy a reliable source of energy in Palestine?
In Palestine, solar energy is a reliable source of energy due to its high average radiation and sunshine rate per day ( Daoud, 2018 ), Yet, the yearly progress of the solar energy is around 1% only as indicated by the Palestinian Energy Authority (PEA) plan ( PEA, 2013 ). Fig. 1. PV panel project at Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie.
Why is solar power important in Palestine?
The solar power can be a key supplier of energy to the forthcoming generations in Palestine, due to the total amount of yearly sunshine’s hours (3000 h) and annual solar radiation (5.4 kWh/m). Furthermore, solar water heating (SWH) is widely used in where about two third of residents own such systems.
Can Palestinians achieve 10 percent of electricity production from renewable sources?
The Palestinian Energy Authority issued a renewable energy strategy in 2012 that aims to gradually achieve 10 percent of electricity production from renewable sources by the end of 2020. According to the strategy, this goal can be achieved if certain prerequisites are attained.
How much PV power can be produced in Palestine?
In Palestine, the average values of specific PV power production from a reference system, described in Table 2, vary between 1700 and 1765 kWh/kWp for the selected three areas. A maximum value of energy that can be produced in Gaza and in the very southern region of the West Bank is higher than 1800 kWh/kWp.
What is the potential of biomass energy in Palestine?
