Renewable energy including solar energy can be used to generate electricity by photovoltaic conversion. Solar energy by far is the most available in Libya as the average sunlight hours is about 3200 hours/year and the average solar radiation is approximately 6 kwh/m2/day.
In Libya, the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are encouraging for the future, due to incident solar radiation is greater than the minimum required rate across the country (Hewedy et al., 2017). Based on that from a techno-economics point-view, there is a need to develop substantial energy resource solutions.
The solar photovoltaics (PV) was used in Libya back in the 1970s; the application areas power loads of small remote systems such as rural electrification systems, communication repeaters, cathodic protection for oil pipelines and water pumping (Asheibi et al., 2016).
Most of these applications in Libya are standalone such as water pumping, street lighting, cathodic protection, communication site and etc [2-6]. The use of PV energy sources both large and small-scale will help to reduce harmful gas emissions.
Sadada area is about 280 km south east of Tripoli . This plant will be the largest solar project in Libya with the latest technological application in the field of solar energy. According to the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya that about 1.2 million solar panels will be used in the project to generate up 152 TWh per year.
In Libya, there has a rising need for electricity because of the growing population and development of construction projects. Most of the electrical energy comes from fossil-fuel power plants. Natural gas and oil are the main sources of energy and power stations are dependent on them.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
