Abstract
The average yearly hours of sunshine in Libya reaches 3200 hours and solar irradiance rate approximately ranges from 6 to 7kWh/m2/day. However, small solar parks projects are now undergoing and some are lately under cadastral and field survey. In meanwhile, $922.7M is the average annual government fund paid for electricity generation sector. It thus results in Tariff of 0.082 $/kWh. This paper studies the potential of hybrid rooftop PV solar systems to supply household appliances and then proposes a 5.65 kWp PV solar system appropriate for Libyan home’s rooftop to mitigate the consequences of load shedding due to electric power shortage. Accordingly, oil uses in electricity generation will be gradually reduced as a result to rooftop PV systems widely spread. Finally, the overall benefits, simulation summery and implementation approach are provided.
