In this paper, the technical and economic potential of large-scale integration of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Morocco is assessed. For this purpose, environmental and technical constraints were first evaluated and gathered into a land exclusion map to identify the unsuitable areas for PV deployment.
Morocco has a significant solar potential, exceeding 2,200 kWh/m 2 /year, in terms of Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) . Such potential promotes PV power plants' installation, and it may attract overseas shareholders to invest in Morocco. However, the solar resource is not merely the criterion that determines the site's potential.
While, the sites with lower potential are mainly concentrated in the northern outskirts with a minimum value of 1.06 GWh/ year under the scenario 3. It is noteworthy that Morocco possesses a high PV potential from a technical point of view quantified for the third scenario at around 49,643 TWh/year.
Overall, this study is the first of its kind for Morocco and it is set up to highlight the significant technical and economic potential that the country possesses in terms of PV, enabling it to increase RE's share in the national energy mix as envisaged by Moroccan policy.
In 2009, the Kingdom launched the Moroccan Solar Plan (MSP), a strategy to deploy RE resources by increasing its share to 52% by 2030 in the national mix . Among the benefits of this policy is to lower the country's energy dependence, which stood at 93.3% in 2016, due to the fact that the energy sector in Morocco is heavily marked by fossil .
Polo et al. estimated the technical potential of grid-connected PV and Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) by combining the theoretical potential with restriction layers. Findings indicated that the available areas for CSP systems are restricted to the Central Highlands and Southeast of Vietnam.
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.
