EVALUATION OF SOLAR ENERGY AND ITS APPLICATION IN LIBYA

Abstract

This study presents the solar energy used in Libya consists of solar electric (PV) and solar thermal applications. The solar energy of source can contribute in generating renewable electricity these study objectives, so that it potential in Libya and Evaluation of solar Energy application in Libya. The methodology of this study carried out in three stages as follows: The first stage involves a literature review on the status study of the assessment of the Libyan experimental with solar energy and applications in heating and cooling, and electric power generation from solar energy. The second Stage Identification Survey Based on the finding of stage 1, an identification survey will be carried out from the range of selected articles and papers. The selected articles, journals and proceedings papers are now focused on the assessment of the Libyan experimental with solar energy. The literature review covered about 42 selected journals that will be taken into consideration. The third Stage the Data Compilation and Interpretation. The data are compiled and interpreted into four subtopics; all two subtopics are discussed in details and analyzed. So the total energy received on horizontal plan reach up to 7.1 KWh/m2 per day, the PV system has utility as a strategic source of electrical energy generation in the Southern region of Libya. It is because of the failure which occurred during its performance caused by the increase of its surface temperature during the operation. Libya has a good potential of solar energy which can be used in different applications.
