Is solar PV a viable long-term solution to Pakistan's energy needs?
The country has been facing a significant energy de-ficit for the past decade, with power shortfalls stan-ding at 5 GW8 and load shedding across the country varying between 5 to 12 hours a day, with rural areas bearing the brunt of load shedding. Solar PV could be a viable and cost-efective long-term solution to meet Pakistan’s energy needs.
What is the share of renewables in Pakistan?
The share of renewables in Pakistan has been steadily increasing each year, with MW of renewables having been installed by (primarily PV, biogas and wind projects). During the last year, i.e. -16, there has been a promising increase in the share of renewables, with 728 MW of renewables added.
Are PV panels imported into Pakistan?
Apart from minor accessories such as wiring and panel mounting structures, 80 percent of PV compo-nents are currently being imported into the country. Currently, five companies in Pakistan are conducting the local ‘assembly’ of panels. However, imported panels are preferred. The PV panel landscape in the country is provided in Figure 9 below.
