Application of ground solar energy system in Kyrgyzstan

Is solar PV a suitable technology for sustainable electricity supply in Kyrgyzstan?

The study shows that the solar PV farm is a suitable technology for sustainable electricity supply in Kyrgyzstan over hydropower plants. The study further identifies the solution to bridge the gap between the technical potential of solar PV and market barriers. 1. Introduction

Is a large-scale solar PV farm feasible in Kyrgyzstan?

In response to that, the presented study performs the feasibility study of a large-scale solar PV farm in Kyrgyzstan. The simulation of the PV farm was developed by using the modeling software tool Polysun. The results of the simulation displayed great potential for solar energy, especially for a high-altitude region.

What is the potential of solar energy in Kyrgyzstan?

On the other hand, Kyrgyzstan presents an enormous solar energy potential due to its high-altitude characteristics. It has been estimated that the potential of solar energy in Kyrgyzstan is 60 % higher than in Frankfurt. Fig. 1 portrays the potential of solar energy in Kyrgyzstan.

Who can participate in the emerging solar market in Kyrgyzstan?

Private consumers, investors, the government can take part in the emerging solar market. Also, Kyrgyzstan has a huge agricultural field and there is a great chance for the agro-PV market. The above-mentioned pillars are the imperative parameter to decode / understand the complex situation of untapped solar energy and the solar market in Kyrgyzstan.

How can I export data from Kyrgyzstan?

Data will be available through the .Stat Data Explorer, which also allows users to export data in Excel and CSV formats. Kyrgyzstan has considerable untapped renewable energy potential. Existing renewable energy consists of large HPPs, which account for 30% of total energy supply, but only 10% of hydropower potential has been developed.

Is Kyrgyzstan a good country for solar energy?

Despite social, environmental, and ecological and energy issues, the local government focused on building new hydropower plants. On the other hand, Kyrgyzstan is blessed with a great potential for solar energy because of its geographical characteristics which can ensure a sustainable power supply.
