Morocco Photovoltaic Panel Greenhouse Specifications

Can large-scale photovoltaic power plants be integrated in Morocco?

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.

What is a greenhouse in Morocco?

The agricultural greenhouse is one of the most energy intensive systems in the agricultural sector. In Morocco, it has been planned to have 59,000 ha for vegetable production, including 27,500 ha of protected cultivation in 2020, which represents a very high rate of almost 47% .

How many solar complexes are there in Morocco?

The technical, financial, environmental and social studies of the complex have been conducted. The project is the first of a series of 5 solar complexes in Morocco which will have a combined capacity of 2000 MW by 2020.

What is Morocco's Solar Plan?

Morocco’s solar plan, with a total capacity of 2000 MW, is part of a project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 3.8 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2020. 2.2. Equipment and Related Utilities

What is the PV potential of Morocco?

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.

Can solar power increase Morocco's share in the national energy mix?

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.
