Most locations across Guyana have excellent solar insolation levels and are ideal for solar PV generation. As of 2018, the total installed capacity for Solar PV in Guyana is 4.63 MW, with an estimated annual generation of 7.16 GWh.
Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) is preparing plans for three utility-scale solar PV farms totaling 30 MW for the national grid in the long term, as well as a 0.75 MW Solar PV Farm at Wakenaam and a 4 MW Solar PV Farm at Onverwagt in the near future.
He further added that “the project will also seek to demonstrate the applicability of photovoltaic system operation and its energy contribution in Guyana”. According to Dr. Sharma, the solar PV systems installations to be supervised by GEA will total2.76MW in 2017 alone.
In Guyana, solar energy is used for several purposes, such as drying agricultural produce and irrigation, ICT, and to improve electricity access in rural areas. Under the Hinterland Electrification Programme, over 19,000 solar PV systems had been installed in nearly 200 communities by 2018.
Based on savings, a new tender is currently being advertised for the supply and installation of solar PV systems to be installed atan additional 18 Buildings with 382kWp of new solar PV systems (see table 3 below).
