    Global Irradiation and Solar Electricity Potential: Zimbabwe

    Uploaded by

    tongai
    This document contains a map of Zimbabwe showing the yearly global irradiation and potential solar electricity production across the country. Areas receiving over 2400 kWh/m2 of global irradiation per year are most suitable for solar electricity generation. With a 1kWp photovoltaic system and performance ratio of 0.75, locations in these high irradiation areas could generate over 1800 kWh of electricity per kilowatt of peak capacity each year. The map provides spatial information on Zimbabwe's solar resource potential to inform solar power development planning.
