The following are the important themes and findings from our extensive research: Abundant Solar Resources: Islamabad has a daily solar irradiation of 5.89 kWh/m 2 and a solar percentage of 98.99%. This makes it an excellent position for capturing solar energy.
The 11.5 MW solar power facility at NUST, Islamabad, covers 9.36 acres of land and is divided into six strategic blocks, which are further subdivided into twelve sub-blocks totaling 8.79 MW capacity.
Islamabad is located in a region blessed with enormous solar resources, boasting a daily horizontal solar irradiance of 1503.45 kWh/m 2 and an average daily solar irradiance of 5.89 kWh/m 2, with an exceptional solar fraction of 98.99%. The ambient air temperature, averaging 23.21 °C, reaches its maximum in June and its minimum in December.
Pakistan has an estimated solar energy reserve of up to 100,000 MW due to its ample sunshine 7. Recognizing the potential of solar energy, the government prioritized the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park project in Bahawalpur, Punjab.
The detailed yearly climate data is illustrated in Table 1. Furthermore, the region’s high temperatures, which can reach 45.5 °C, contribute to its aptitude for solar power generation. For solar panels in Pakistan, the ideal direction is generally south facing, which corresponds to an azimuth angle of approximately 180°.
Pakistan updated its grid code and standard project documentation in March 2013 to encourage the development of solar power plants, offering incentives such as tax breaks and an 18.5% return on investment to entice investors 18. These activities are in line with the country’s aim of reducing carbon emissions and managing electricity supply issues.
