Kyrgyzstan large size photovoltaic glass

Hence, the high-altitude and cold climacteric regions of Kyrgyzstan (i.e. Naryn) are the most suitable locations to harness more energy from the sun for large-scale solar PV farms. The presented simulation study demonstrated the prodigious technical potential of solar PV in Kyrgyzstan.

In response to that, the presented study performs the feasibility study of a large-scale solar PV farm in Kyrgyzstan. The simulation of the PV farm was developed by using the modeling software tool Polysun. The results of the simulation displayed great potential for solar energy, especially for a high-altitude region.

On the other hand, Kyrgyzstan presents an enormous solar energy potential due to its high-altitude characteristics. It has been estimated that the potential of solar energy in Kyrgyzstan is 60 % higher than in Frankfurt. Fig. 1 portrays the potential of solar energy in Kyrgyzstan.

Legislative pillar: The policymakers should make the FIT more attractive to invite investors to invest in solar-assisted power generation to expand the RE sector in Kyrgyzstan. Consequently, the government should give preference to promoting solar energy instead of focusing on hydro energy.

At the same time, the literature review identified that a Kyrgyz-German company called New-Tek manufactures PV modules. Hence, in order to reduce the import taxes as well as to assess the performance of locally manufactured PV modules, the presented research selected a PV module of New-Tek from Kyrgyzstan for further simulations.

Private consumers, investors, the government can take part in the emerging solar market. Also, Kyrgyzstan has a huge agricultural field and there is a great chance for the agro-PV market. The above-mentioned pillars are the imperative parameter to decode / understand the complex situation of untapped solar energy and the solar market in Kyrgyzstan.
