Abstract: Solar energy holds immense potential for Tunisia, a country blessed with abundant sunshine. With an average of over 3,000 hours of sunlight annually, Tunisia is ideally positioned to harness solar power to meet its energy demands sustainably.
Solar energy also contributes to Tunisia's economic development. Expanding the solar energy sector creates job opportunities in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research. It attracts foreign investments, particularly in large-scale solar projects like photovoltaic (PV) farms and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants.
The multi-year support to Tunisia's energy sector, particularly to increase renewable energy generation, has been financed by both the TERI Anchor Trust Fund and the Compact with Africa Trust Fund – an associated Trust Fund to the TERI Umbrella program.
Tunisia's climate presents a key solar energy opportunity and, together with an improved investment framework and a highly skilled workforce, the country should be well positioned support its ambitious Plan Solaire Tunisien. However, to date, Tunisia has fallen short of its intermediate solar PV targets.
The financial feasibility of the two technologies was assessed by Payback Period and Net Present Value (NPV), through data obtained by local information sources such as solar panels and green roof
