Abstract
The paper identifies and analyzes the geographical and temporal variability of solar energy in Kuwait. The fundamental solar trigonometric model has been modified to estimate daily and hourly solar radiation on horizontal surfaces on the basis of the more readily available meteorological data. The results demonstrate that Kuwait has an abundance of solar energy capability. An overview of the production and consumption of electrical energy, installed capacity, and peak loads in Kuwait is also presented. Finally, it is shown how the power produced from the photovoltaic (PV) cells depends on the solar radiation. The proposed PV module is made up of a combination of series and parallel cells to increase power, while the I-V characteristic and output power of the module each month may be obtained from the model.
