Ethiopia to Exploit Full Potential of Solar Energy to Accelerate
The deployment of solar energy systems not only helps mitigate climate change but also supports the country''s broader sustainable development objectives, including poverty
It also found that the main applications of solar energy in Ethiopia are dominated by telecommunications, water pumping, public lighting, agriculture, water heating and grain drying. Solar energy; Utilization; Development; Solar renewable; Photovoltaic
The status of solar energy utilization, development opportunities and challenges in Ethiopia It further articulated that Ethiopia has high solar energy potential related to its position and gifted 13 th month sunshine.
With the many areas of utilization of solar PV cutting across the household, education, health, agriculture and commercial, to mention just but a few, as well as the multi-faceted benefits derivable from exploitation and utilization of solar PV, there is no doubt that solar PV holds the key to bail Ethiopia out of her perennial energy crises.
• Government should subsidize the cost of importation of Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) most especially solar PV to bring down the high cost in Ethiopia, and make it affordable. • More research into the techno economies involving the initial and subsequent costs of solar plants and their power efficiencies should be encouraged.
