Solar Rooftop Potential in Kabul, Afghanistan
Under this engagement, Core CarbonX has evaluated solar energy potential from rooftops in the city of Kabul.
Kabul roof-top solar. Brief description: Following the maturity and proven viability of this market globally, Kabul roof-top solar pilot project will seed this market for Afghanistan. Project Title: 6. RE atlas.
In Afghanistan, there is significant potential of roof-top solar PV systems on account of levels of solar radiation consistently above 5.5 kWh/m as well as available roof-top space, especially in urban locations.
Roof-top solar PV is a modular, grid-connected or standalone system that has electricity generating solar panels mounted on the roof of any building. By virtue of being mounted on a roof, these systems are small compared to ground mounted solar PV stations that could be in the MW range.
The institutional framework for roof-top solar is a mix between standalone captive systems and a grid-tied solar PV system. Like grid-tied systems, feed-in tariffs play an important role. At the same time, the model is based on a single consumer, similar to standalone systems.
