Sudanese household solar energy storage

Can solar energy be used in Sudan?

Research and projects on solar energy in Sudan have primarily concentrated on solar PV systems, with relatively limited focus on solar thermal energy. Nevertheless, there are some studies that have explored power generation using CSP technologies.

What is the energy supply in Sudan?

The energy supply in Sudan is primarily derived from crude oil, hydroelectricity, biomass, and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy. As illustrated in Figure 2a, biomass is the largest contributor, accounting for 52% of Sudan's total energy consumption.

Where is the best place to harvest solar energy in Sudan?

A study by Fadlallah and Serradj assessed the monthly average solar radiation across 21 locations in Sudan, as shown in Figure 11, identifying Kutum as the most favorable site for solar energy harvesting, followed by Wawa, Dongola, and Al-Goled.

How much solar power will Sudan have by 2035?

Plans are underway to deploy 1200 solar pumps in West and North Kordofan. By 2035, the government also plans to establish 190 MW of solar PV home systems, 400 MW of solar pumping, 250 MW of rooftop PV systems, and 27 MW of PV-diesel hybrid systems. In wind energy, Sudan aims to achieve a total installed capacity of 1550 MW by 2035.
