As the total amount of renewable energy in Afghanistan is estimated to be over 300,000 MW, among that the amount of solar energy is (222,849 MW). Afghanistan has a vast scope to generate electricity from solar radiation. Due to its convenient geographical situation, it receives an enormous amount of solar irradiance almost the whole year.
Over 100,000 (over 650 Villages) solar home systems (SHSs) have been installed in various parts of the country. An estimated 300 small biogas digesters have been installed in different parts of Afghanistan. Prospects of low to medium temperature geothermal resources are widespread all over Afghanistan.
Nevertheless, the country is still facing a shortage of electricity in the rural area. To overcome these issues, the government of Afghanistan is planning to generate 5,000 MW of renewable energy by 2032; among them the share of solar projects should be 1,500 MW.
Using PVsyst software 700KWp PV system has been designed for Daikundi (Nili) Afghanistan, and then simulated through calculated data of given location. This paper aims to develop and simulate a solar photovoltaic system in Afghanistan using PVsyst software to meet the energy requirements of domestic load.
Solarization of 24 Health Facilities in Bamyan and Badakhshan. Solarization of 80 Health Facilities for Kinderhilfe Afghanistan in Nangarhar, Kunar and Laghman. 340 kW MHP/PV Hydro Solar Hybrid Mini-grid. Kandahar's 15 MW solar power project is currently one of the biggest national projects in Afghanistan.
The main future challenges of solar energy in Daykundi province of Afghanistan is either to construct power plant at different districts or distribute the power from generating station at long distance to the consumers, it definitely will cost a very huge amount of money which affect the economics of country.
