6 FAQs about [Basic solar energy system Iraq]
How much solar power does Iraq have?
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Iraq has an installed PV capacity of only 216 MW despite a huge solar potential. No additional solar power has been deployed in the country in the past three years.
Is Iraq ready for solar power?
On the other hand, the Iraqi government has invited independent power producers (IPPs) to develop seven utility-scale PV solar power sites in the range between 30 and 300 MWp with a total power generation capacity of 755 MWp .
Is solar energy a good idea in Iraq?
Although Iraq tends to promote the country’s solar energy in two ways: Utility-scale PV units could lead to a reduction in burning of oil and gas, and rooftop solar panels would help individual households reduce their own dependence on “expensive and polluting neighborhood generators”.
Why is Iraq launching a solar energy project?
“The solar energy project contributes to increasing the production of electrical energy, to supply the system with clean renewable energy,” the government added. “It is also one of the first pilot projects in Iraq, which is implemented for the first time.” No more technical or financial details on the new scheme were released.
