“…That goal was raised to 52% at COP21 in Paris in 2015, and it now anticipates reaching it five years early. By 2030, the nation is on track to reach a 60% -65% renewable electricity share [26] [27]. An examination by the IEA reveals significant room for advancement in the building, transportation, and industrial sectors.…”

“…For oil and gas producers like Algeria and Libya, the need for energy transitions is becoming more pressing, but the chance to use the sector's current expertise to support efforts at economic diversification might be quite promising. Governments in the region are encouraged to increase their efforts and objectives, and the IEA is prepared to support them [27] [28] [29].…”

The target of this research is to estimate the distribution of global solar radiation (GSR) and reanalysis datasets (ERA-5) for development of PV cost reduction and predict of level cost energy over five countries in North Africa during the period time from 2011 to 2020. The effectiveness of reanalysis datasets (ERA-5) for North African countries was evaluated against high-quality surfaces measured using statistical analysis. The average values of mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of the reanalysis data of solar radiation vary from 0.079 to 0.222, 0.055 to 0.178, and 0.0145 to 0.198 respectively during the period time in the present research. The correlation coefficient (R 2 ) varies from 0.93 to 99% in the present research. North African countries are among the most vulnerable regions to the potential impacts of climate change. The increasing impact of climate change shows the need to build up a reliable energy mix and improve the resilience of existing and new energy systems. The development of PV cost reduction and the predicted of level cost of energy (LCOE) are discussed and used one PV Module to calculate the total cost for five countries in North Africa. This research's objective is to provide a reliable representation of the world's solar radiation to aid in the use of solar energy in all sectors.

Progress in Photovoltaics

For the third time in a decade, solar energy pricing records are tumbling in the Persian Gulf. As each previous wave of new records was met with incredulity, only for these prices to become the new normal around the world within a few years, it would be unwise to once again dismiss low prices as unrepresentative outliers. In this study, we show how local conditions and global macroeconomic factors have conspired to bring solar energy into a new regime of extreme affordability in the region and argue that the Gulf market, especially the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, represents the leading edge of the global learning curve and therefore offers a window into the likely near future of large‐scale photovoltaics around the world. As this future increasingly appears to be one of previously unimaginably cheap energy, we conclude with a discussion of the ways in which the region and the world can seek to meet the opportunities and challenges of the coming renewable revolution.
