Abstract

In the context of providing sustainable energy, it is necessary to expand access to reliable and affordable sources of energy supply. In other hand to restore confidence in the renewable energy sector, and ensure the sustainability of renewable energy projects in the future, it is very important to map the renewable energy potential.
