What is pvout (photovoltaic output) in Morocco?

PVOUT (photovoltaic Output) is an indicator (kWh/kWp/year) that evaluates the potential solar energy production per unit of solar panel capacity installed over a long period. The average annual PVOUT in Morocco ranges from 1600 to 1900 kWh/kWp/yr depending on the location. Figure 11. Map of yearly photovoltaic output in Morocco (kWh/kWp/year).

Does concentrated solar power work in Morocco?

Bouhal el al. mapped Morocco in accordance with climate zoning in order to compare the energy generated by concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, particularly parabolic trough systems. The results confirmed the cost-effectiveness of this technology on a large scale (less expensive and more productive).

How can Morocco overcome barriers to the development of solar energy?

RE sources only represented 19% of the overall electricity production. The barriers to the development of solar energy in Morocco can be overcome by improving institutional and regulatory frameworks, including those related to low-voltage grid access, and completing the liberalization of the renewable electricity sector.

How much solar power does Morocco have in 2023?

According to IRENA’s “Renewable Capacity Statistics” report, the global installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems by the end of 2023 reached approximately 6876 MW, with Morocco accounting for nearly 20% of this total. Morocco is the leading country in Africa in terms of CSP capacity, followed by South Africa with 500 MW.
