Calculation of gross, technical and economic potential of solar energy of the Republic of Tajikistan

Abstract

This article provides a calculation of the gross technical and economic potential of solar energy from the Penjikent district in order to determine the possibility of using it to obtain and provide electrical and thermal energy. The results of the calculation of solar energy resources for the Penjikent district of the Republic of Tajikistan, obtained on the basis of using NASA metrological data for the last 20 years, are presented. Using data from NASA and the RETScreen Expert computer program, the work also determined the average monthly solar radiation intake for 22 years for all cities of Tajikistan and is given in the table. The conclusion was made about the expediency of using solar photovoltaic modules in the territory of the Penjikent district, where there is still no electricity in most areas of this region.
