“This study explores Somalia’s energy profile and the potential for harnessing solar energy. The installed photovoltaic capacity was found to be 41 MW and contributed 11.9% of the total electricity generation. A case study on a solar power microgrid system in Bacadweyene, Somalia, is also presented. The research provides valuable information on the status of the utilization and potential of solar energy in Somalia and aligns with the NDP 9th. The results can serve as a scientific framework for companies and researchers to seek feasible strategies for future investment in solar energy applications in Somalia.”
