Solar energy to boost Bahrain''s renewable energy capacity
Bahrain''s approach to achieving a net-zero and sustainable energy future involves harnessing solar, wind and waste resources. The country is prioritising solar energy, and the
According to estimates by the International Renewable Energy Agency, Bahrain's photovoltaic (PV) capacity was around 10 MW at that time. Large-scale plants offer one way to rapidly scale up renewable energy deployment. One notable project is the Askar landfill site in southern governorate.
Bahrain has the opportunity to use solar energy, as it receives an estimated solar radiation of 6 kWh/m²/day ( Alnaser et al., 2014 ). The country's global horizontal irradiance is 2160 kWh/m²/year, while direct normal radiation is 2050 kWh/m²/year ( IRENA, 2014 ).
Once the necessary rehabilitation is complete, a 100 MW solar PV plant will be constructed. On the distribution side, Bahrain has adopted a net metering system, allowing businesses and individuals to install solar systems and supply excess electricity to the EWA grid.
None of the participants mentioned any reported barriers to installation of solar PV in Bahrain. This is likely because solar panel installation is relatively new in Bahrain and the participants were not clear on the specifics involved. Effective dissemination of information is necessary, as explained later.
According to the cross tabulation results, majority of participants who were willing to pay the full cost of residential solar PV systems were Bachelor degree holders with the average per-capita monthly income for Bahrainis.
Although there are fewer peer-reviewed studies on the social aspects of solar PV compared to technical studies, the present research sheds light on public perspectives on this topic in Bahrain. In fact, it used a cross-sectional design for this purpose.
